  @twoshedslegit @angelar68197975 They sold commercial businesses, not core sovereign functions, worth around $72 billion, including Telstra, the Commonwealth Bank, airports, and rail assets. I thought selling the airports and rail assets was a mistake. At the time they were losing money, so a long-term lease arrangement might have been a better approach than outright sale. That said, it was hardly a “Thatcherite disaster.” In many cases privatisation improved efficiency and competition, telecommunications being a clear example. Critics often highlight the lost future dividends, but overlook the massive debt reduction, the interest savings, and the fact that governments are generally poor at running commercial operations. .

  @Telstra your network keeps dropping mobile calls in Lilyfield 2040. This has been going on for 2 weeks... What is happening?

  Trying to switch from Telstra mobile. For the life of me I cannot find the required account number to port my account. I used to have an account number but Telstra switched me to from post paid to pre paid somehow and now I don't get a bill, only a receipt which doesn't have an account number on it. Cannot find it online in my account. Grok says dial *#150# which doesn't work. Anyone got any idea?

  @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.

  @KymRob25112 No idea in Qld. But in Sydney Telstra has sadly become the only option. The complete mess up with triple zero calls ( carrier errors) no mistake in that. The tower's aren't coping with this change. Regional with fewer options. That's harsh. Hope 🙏

  The real risk isn't SpaceX leaving — it just launched DtD with Telstra in June 2025. The risk is one MNO-satellite tie-up controlling the entire mobile-satellite layer. The fix: use-it-or-lose-it milestones + open access licence terms.
