    @DarcyMiddleton @AmeliaBee7 Itโ€™s not trans hysteria mate, we moved my two nieces from a public school to a private one as they were allowing a boy to shower with 12 year old girls and when the parents went down to the school they teachers were attacking the girls and offering to re educate them , where I currently work ,the young kids that work there also go to a government school and a 16 year old is now allowed to shower with the girls and this **** has hit the fan at that school. It happens is workplaces too, I worked for Telstra for 12 years and then another big corporate for 10, we had a gym on site for all staff and it used to be quite busy before and after work as it was free. Then the morons announced their trans policy and allowed the males to shower and undress with the females. No one complained because they know theyโ€™d get in trouble and 95 per cent just stopped using the facility, meanwhile on teams everyone is talking about how ****** it is and how no one can say a word. This is issue plays a big part.

    @the_LoungeFly @Telstra 2/2 ...regarding my plan's data He claimed I'd been paying $50/mth 4 3MB of data I contacted Telstra via FB They must have told him He wasn't happy When he finally contacted tech support to fix it he listened in while I was giving feedback I reported that breach of privacy on FB

    @Busybee32433175 @Teh_Jkr @Optus Any time I wanted a new phone I'd walk into a Telstra store and just buy one. My SIM is already Telstra its just plug and play. People make the mistake of getting a new phone whilst still paying off the current one. A never ending cycle of payments for something shiny. Boring.

    @cyberpunkdingo Yes, Telstra as you mentioned did a signed deal with Infosys. 600 jobs gone, all local IT contracting staff were retrenched. Then they use some onshore workers to run the service but the workers are mainly offshore. NAB also partnered with Accenture this failed miserably.

    @WSWanderingEels True, Notice how this season Kayo started buffering on most NRL games. How to fix it, upgrade your internet plan. Guess who owns half of Kayo Telstra. Just another gouging ponzi scheme. They dont care for the players the clubs the game. Its all about profits.

    @RizviAbul Well given Telstra and CBA both have an extraordinary number of retail shareholders either , individuals, trusts or superannuation funds numbering in the hundreds of thousands if not millions , many Australians would be aware of the CGT and franking credits but there was never any need for the vast majority to worry about a tax return given not having to declare dividends under a certain amount and the easy calcUlation with the CGT discount .... Now itโ€™s a lot more complicated and non compliance will come with threats so please donโ€™t be so dismissive when for some it is a big deal

    @mynameiskiiiid @TheKouk Structural deficit? Mate, let's get this straight.Australia's structural budget issues blew out post-GFC and especially under recent big-spending governments โ€” not from Howard paying down $96b in inherited debt while running surpluses. Howard left the budget in strong shape with low debt and a Future Fund seeded. Today's deficits (still projected around 1% of GDP with net debt heading to ~20%+) come from exploding recurrent spending: NDIS, aged care, welfare, and public sector bloat โ€” not a lack of 'productivity policy' from the 90s/00s. Howard-era asset sales (Telstra etc.) shifted assets to private hands where they often delivered better efficiency and innovation โ€” exactly what boosts productivity. Privatisation and microeconomic reforms in the 80s-90s drove Australia's strong productivity surge in the late 90s/early 00s. Blaming today's slump on "record low infrastructure spending" 25-30 years ago is the real stretch. Recent productivity stagnation (labour productivity near flat since ~2016-17, weakest in decades) has clear modern drivers:Services shift โ€” healthcare, education, public admin (non-market sectors) now dominate and have abysmal productivity growth. Faster broadband, transport, and training matter โ€” but governments have poured billions into infrastructure since then (and states still do). The constraint isn't some 1990s "under-spend"; it's getting value for money, avoiding waste, and prioritising high-return projects over recurrent blowouts. Private sector dynamism, competition, and sensible tax settings deliver productivity far more reliably than more government "facilitation" funded by structural deficits. You know what actually restricts productivity policy? Promising endless spending while ignoring incentives, efficiency, and evidence. Structural deficits today crowd out future options through higher interest and taxes โ€” not the other way around." This keeps it punchy, factual, and directly dismantles the causal link while flipping the deficit argument.

    And theyโ€™re all the same. Itโ€™s almost a rule that the bigger they are the worse they are. Telstra, Optus, Qantas, the big banks, Coles, Woolworths. All run by wildly overpaid โ€˜chief executivesโ€™ who would rather wrestle crocodiles than actually encounter a customer. **** โ€˜em all.

    @joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Youโ€™re so confidently wrong. No **** itโ€™s Telstra, Iโ€™ve used both and Iโ€™m fully aware Telstra own boost. Boost is a budget provider and receives lower priority to the network, it isnโ€™t rocket science. My second phone is on boost and performs worse than my wifeโ€™s Telstra phone.

Refused to escalate "Deprovisioning" of SIM cards unable to make calls to transmit data, demanding "samples" of calls to/from +1-408 by IBM and PARC from Military Classified numbers for over 10 years. Refused to comply with Data Sovereignty rules and to respect the classified nature of the "samples" they were requesting and I refused to provide till I am talking to a suitably qualified person or engineer calling from within Australia. Refused to comply with "Do not talk to computer scientists over insecure channels" rule. I then said "will not escalate till I provide samples", I explained "deprovisioned" is more than enough to escalate and samples to that end have been provided. Call put on mute, stayed silent for 5 mins then other end terminated call. AP

    @eevblog i spent 3 months fighting their absurdity over a business account, with them "doing it wrong" and then forgetting about it. the only solution was to raise a complaint and follow that process, which so far has taken a month. telstra is criminally incompetent :(
