vito m (@vitomattvm) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@Telstra Confusion over Telstra/Foxtel responsibility is an issue. When instructed to call Telstra by Foxtel, the T rep put me on hold “to look into it” & suddenly I found myself transferred to a F rep, more confused than I was. Why is this all so unnecessarily complicated?

St Mary MacKiller (@StMaryMacKiller) reported@pjfred60 Those trees have been down for 1-4 years. 2 are actually Icarus’ nests🥺 but it was storms and Telstra that caused it. Telstra ran thru the back here and all the trees died - which is apparently what happens.
-
M_a_r_ke (@Ma_rk_e) reported@OneNewsAu optus announced the partnership with starlink on July 12 2023 and telstra announced it on July 3rd 2023, Telstra starlink messaging started June 3 2025 optus? well nothing. "covers blackspots telstra never will" that might make sense if telstra also didn't get starlink messaging

Chad (@OTheChad) reported@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.
