  Just been asked to complete an oxymoron. A Telstra customer satisfaction survey. Reminded me of a 1980s Telecom survey that found customers hated them, leads to a management recommendation to educate customers…(who they called “subscribers”)

  @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.

  @Starlink Update: customer care sent me the kit via express post and gave $25 credit. Installation went ahead smoothly as per schedule and very happy so far. No more crap NBN that Telstra put up their prices to $115 per month for 50mbps but my Starlink gives me 100mbps for $75 per month

  I've been letting @Telstra "augement" their💩network in the south west of Western 🇦🇺. They, Telstra, use my farm @Starlink for WiFi calling and the same on the road with Starlink Mini in my MYL. Perth-Denmark or Denmark-Albany is difficult to maintain a phone call link on mobile. Telstra should be paying me.

  @Telstra GREEDY ARSEHOLES!!! Isn't it funny how Telstra, that great Australian company, keeps ignoring me? If someone from lovely Telstra does reach out to me they won’t want to discuss my concerns in public. We want to help you, Tony. Please private DM us.

  @ellymelly Spare a thought for those of us who have no choice of provider so have to just suck it up. Same goes for phone service and Telstra says if we don't like it then disconnect and have no phone at all.

  I spent nearly an hour on the phone to @VodafoneAU and while the consultant was really nice, I wasn’t asked to do anything that I hadn’t already thought about and done myself in relation to the network outage . I had another brief outage about 90 minutes ago, and the interesting thing from this phone conversation with Vodafone was that this outage today affected every network, which is absolutely and categorically untrue . Did the consultant really think I couldn’t find who was affected or knew about MVNOs? This type of stuff might work on lay people, but it doesn’t work on me. If you’re not being ruthlessly gouged by @telstra, you’re being told BS from TPG’s Vodafone Australia. I do not expect 100% fault-free internet or Voice services, that’s just ridiculous. But I do expect timely information on outages, no evasions, and finally a proper explanation as to what went wrong because the idea of a power fault in this day and age of priority communications seems laughable. @acmadotgov

  @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.
