  @Telstra Understood. However, as @telstra disconnected our service instead of our vacating neighbours, I would hope they could assist in rectifying the issue and reconnecting us.

  @MargMcCrohon @jmil400 @gdgoz Remember how American Toe Cutter stopped by St Andrews and was nonplussed to hear prayers being offered to ask the Gov for help during Financial Crisis- returned to USA with Sol Whatsit (Telstra) with $$$ millions golden handshake, and received Wall St bank payout.

  @Telstra We have tried. @Telstra referred us to our provider, TPG, who in turn have referred us to the NBN. It’s been 5 days as we still have no service.

  @Telstra Thanks Tanasha, advised that I pay next bill incl the $15 fine & then seek a reimbursement. That is not acceptable & I refuse to waste further time over a @telstra error. The fine should not be charged in the first place - I alerted #Telstra to the issue!

  @Telstra There is no ‘Accounts & billing’ selection available on the drop-down menu. So not much use. Thanks for trying though.

  @PaulFletcherMP @NBN_Australia How many connections will be completed at no extra cost due to the degrading copper network? You know us customers now stuck on default #4G data because for some ‘unknown’ reason we’ve lost fixed line connectivity! @Telstra #LNP were warned, to little too late! #Auspol

  @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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — healthcare, education, public admin (non-market sectors) now dominate and have abysmal productivity growth. Faster broadband, transport, and training matter — 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 — not the other way around." This keeps it punchy, factual, and directly dismantles the causal link while flipping the deficit argument.

  @the_LoungeFly @Telstra You have to go through the ombudsman to get an Australian staff member, someone with access to your records apparently or can fix anything. The call centers are just to keep you preoccupied long enough that you get sick of it and go away.

  UPDATE: Dodo contacted me and transferred the Telstra number manually. Said it could take two working days. Several hours later my Telstra SIM is now dead and the new Dodo SIM doesn't work. The website just shows "Order in progress". And now it's Friday night.

  @DevMohali @Ausbobsmit I have met some really nice Indians, and I have met some that want to rip us off every chance they get. I will never again deal with an Indian or a Pakistani in telecommunications. I’m not sure but I think Telstra and Optus are a bit gun-shy well.

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. They 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
