  @Telstra the sheer incompetence of your systems, processes and staff is beyond belief. I have wasted 2+ hrs on the phone trying to reset a password. I vowed years ago after you sold a debt that never existed that would be it. I should have stuck to that resolution. Dreadful.

  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.

  I'm in Brisbane for a bit and I had forgotten how woeful @telstra mobile broadband is in the city. Endless dropouts and slow downs.

  @ronInBendigo @RaymondKeown3 The Belong (Telstra) plan is $25 only once you have activated a service with them it will appear when you go to change plans via their app. 10GB data per month with rollover, if you ever exceed it, it doesn't charge extra just slows to 1Mbps.

  @karlstefanovic John Howard & Costello last budget would have been in deficit if they didn’t sell off Telstra & gold reserves.. Costello claimed gold was no longer the standard **** look at it today IMF stated that the last term of Howard was the highest spending term of any Aust government!

  @OGmusical @SkyNewsAust 2026 (Enterprise Restructuring): Telstra announced major workforce restructures, cutting hundreds of enterprise and IT roles in Australia. A significant portion of this work and technical support was offshored to the Indian-based ICT firm Infosys and its joint venture with Accenture.Current Operations: Voice calls from standard Australian consumer and small business customers are still generally handled domestically, while much of the complex technical delivery, IT support, and enterprise services are managed through hubs in India.Reach

  @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.

  @SocialTubby @DaveTaylorNews As an aging Pro. Pretty much all of my clients in Longreach, Karratha or the Alice book me via Starlink. When I used to service the married Labor blokes in Marrickville, my Telstra mobile would be forever dropping out. Starlink is on an exponential trajectory.
