The current government is in it's first term and didn't win the election, the other major party lost it. The current government's electoral platform was a naive "we oppose everything those other guys do", which included the FTTH internet.
Now in power, they've realised what a stupid platform they've run on, since anything they do is breaking a "we won't do that" promise they made earlier. Abandoning the NBN is a relatively minor pledge that they can keep so it doesn't look like a total rout. Their Communications minister certainly doesn't give the impression that he thinks it's the right thing to do.
