Wow, Gigabit uplink to the home!

Can you please provide a link to where you got this information?

The logistics of rolling fiber to every home in Australia would be immense.

But yes, it's definitely possible. I've even heard of 10 Gbps, 30 Gbps and 100 Gbps symmetrical fiber... not for residential obviously. Fiber has little limitation because if you hit the limitations of one strand of fiber you just need to add more strands.

Here's resource from Feb 2010 that talks about 1Gbps fiber to the home

..... all I know is that I would definitely find a use for that in my home

it was announced verbally during the election campaign, so its probably worthless. but the thought of such speeds is awesome. hopefully it goes ahead.

If Labor are permitted to form government in Australia, they are going to roll out a National Broadband Network, which includes fibre right to the door of every home in Australia.

What can i expect from this? Before the election the quoted speed was 100Mbps, which magically rose to 1000Mbps during the election. Is this possible?
