  @pelli_69 @Optus @Telstra I was with them for years, then went straight to Aussie Broadband! One of the many benefits is that it has Aussie call centres & tech support.

  @Telstra When are you getting us a cell tower @Telstra?? This is dangerous! NBN connections are so bad we had to sign up for Opticomm, which until today, was awesome. But an all day outage and I'm working from my car.

  @WhereMyOstrich @ausstockchick No need to respond in such a derogatory manner. Here is the list, I pulled this from Grok in app you can verify it easily. Recent major Australian companies announcing significant domestic layoffs and offshoring of corporate/white-collar roles — Woolworths, Officeworks, Telstra, and NAB — have timed these moves amid sharp rises in domestic employment costs. • Woolworths (early June 2026) is offshoring hundreds of head-office roles in IT, finance, and HR to India/Philippines as part of cost-cutting to stay competitive with Aldi and Amazon. • Officeworks (late May 2026) is shifting hundreds of support, customer service, and tech roles to Bengaluru and Manila, boosted by AI/automation. • Telstra (earlier 2026) cut hundreds of roles (up to 650 in rounds) with work moving offshore to India. • NAB has expanded offshore teams in India/Vietnam (adding 1,000+ roles) while managing Australian redundancies. This wave aligns closely with escalating domestic labour costs: The national minimum wage and award rates rose 3.5% from July 2025, superannuation guarantee hit 12%, and the Fair Work Commission announced further increases effective July 2026 (4.75% on awards, ~5.9–6% on the minimum wage to $26.44/hour). Combined with weak productivity growth, higher on-costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, etc.), and strong wage pressures, this has widened the cost gap versus offshore locations where skilled roles can be 30–70% cheaper. Companies cite these factors — plus efficiency drives — as key reasons for prioritising offshoring while protecting or growing frontline retail/store jobs domestically. This reflects a broader 2025–2026 trend among Aussie firms responding to cost-arbitrage opportunities in a high-wage, lower-productivity environment.

  @SophiaMoermond When John Howard defeated Paul Keating in the 1996 election, Australia's federal debt was $97B. He sold assets (like Telstra) plus set about paying down the debt. The debt was cleared in 2006 and our savings began. The Rudd govt inherited $17B.

  @TheChopperLady It’s ok. I’m already thinking of suing Telstra for ******* up my payments and putting me in this situation! So much for government assistance right? These corporations and governments are pathetically slow!

  Will have to admit that calling the telstra workers **** did actually solve my issue and got the ball moving to fix the issue. Something oldschool foreign outsourced support would take serious and send in the big man to solve it. No I think if you tried that they'd extradite you to the others land to be put down.

  @Kate3015 It’d really not that hard to spot but to the untrained eye they always look legitimate. My husband a case in point. He doesn’t click on the link but always asks me how to deal with it. Every time I,show- block the email via,the contact card, delete, simple. Government departments never send you anything, just a notification to go to My Gov. Telstra has the email in the App. If it’s not there it’s not real. There are couple I can think of.
