  @belinduhpyne There was little left to sell after Hawke and Keating sold federal and state assets in their Privatisation rampage. Key assets sold under the Hawke government included: The Commonwealth Bank of Australia Qantas Telstra CSL These sales were part of a broader strategy that also involved floating the Australian dollar, deregulating financial markets, and dismantling the tariff system. While critics argued this abandoned traditional Labor values and contributed to issues like increased household debt, supporters view these reforms as essential modernizations that 'strengthened' the Australian economy. We're real strong now eh?

  @asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

  @adrian_couper "Telstra is a perfect example. The public owned it, public funds built it, and then the government sold it back to us as shares, what a ‘great deal’ for the people, right? In reality, the public purse lost a reliable income stream, and most everyday Australians (the ‘mum and dad’ investors) ended up on the losing end. Institutional investors and super funds snapped up the lion’s share, while retail investors often saw their holdings underperform or get diluted over time. The privatisation was framed as empowering the public, but the system was stacked in favour of the big players from the start. What John Howard did was sold the golden goose that lays eggs to pay down debt to make himself look good. Short-term.

  @Telstra @Mention When did it become normal to be unable to simply visit the Telstra website or app to download a bill or view your calls and data usage? All you can do is download a few random receipts. Telstra Support claims, and I quote, “oh this is normal now…” I’m sorry to say Telstra but you’ve been infiltrated. Perhaps you should investigate the current and all past complaints and you’ll likely find some interesting information in the touch logs. 129472997 128259673 117509219

  @AvidCommentator I have abandoned NBN. Service is atrocious as it is mediated through the Telcos. You can’t get to an NBN tech directly. They cancelled five appointments made for me via Telstra saying not an NBN problem. But it was just like the other three times. Now have Telstra 5 G. So simple

  Went from $200 a month for Telstra to $55 a month with Aldi Mobile, which given our location is practically the same network and performance level as what we had before. It is so easy to bleed money without realising.

  @Mark49438347 @PubRockVersion Telstra is required to operate payphones as part of the Universal Service Obligations, except they're now free because they can't be bothered fixing them everytime some some bogan smashes open the coin box.

  Really unsure, but I’ve seen the same sort of buffoons rise to the top at Aust Post, Telstra, etc. The phrase “**** floats to the Top” is pretty common in Govt Industies. Good thing is, once they get there, their incompetence is exposed for all to see. Nowhere to hide.

  @deepwebslinger Based on a search of current news and reports as of April 2026, there is no evidence to support the claim that "tel" (a common abbreviation for Telstra or similar entities) has pink-slipped over 20,000 workers The statement appears to be fabricated or based on misinformation
