The seemingly constantly beleaguered National Broadband Network has been hit by another controversy, with Victoria-based subcontractor Trilogie Resourcing filing for bankruptcy.
Trilogie has closed its doors on as many as 55 telco technicians who had been working on the Telstra copper network and maintaining the NBN.
Unions reckon that Trilogie’s difficulties came as a direct result of what they claim was a faulty contracting structure used to roll out the NBN.
The company has links to training provider Celemetrix Professional Services, and had claimed NBN Co, Telstra, Visionstream and IBM as partners.
