  @samstrades Today 19/7/26 - trying to get info from Telstra on how to lodge a complaint/compensation about the outage, Telstra are saying to customers that the cause was “unforeseen” …… they can’t help themselves #telstra #youhaveonejob #sackthelot

  @telstra how do I get business support without calling. I can’t sit on the phone waiting for you to get to my call.

  It was all the go in the 1980s to make up for the inflation created by the Vietnam War and the abrupt increase in oil prices. That’s when we got the economic rationalists - tax cuts for the rich, razor gangs for everyone else. Welfare and public service cuts, deregulation of banks and privatisation. Back story is interesting - same folks at work behind the scenes. Yes, GDP went up, but wealth only flowed to the top end. At least Labor under pressure, only semi privatised Telstra and retained controlling shares. Qantas was different. Comm Bank should have at least mostly stayed public -my Mum only had a chance at getting a house because of it, but if we add in subsidies and failures, it has largely cost taxpayers far more and not just financially. It did however, enable operators and shareholders to get rich.

  @ACCAN_AU @smh @swan_legend How is Telstra expected to work out the AMOUNT of compensation otherwise? The word ‘compensation’ does not mean ‘fine’ and as a Telstra customer I don’t want them being over generous….because I will be paying for it.

  How is Sarah Hanson-Young leading a Senate enquiry into the recent Telstra outage. She can't even comprehend what a design change means!!

  @marquet_yvette Same here but things have been difficult, not running as per usual. I’ve had a few issues, there has been activity under my Health app which I never use. Got notifications and then couldn’t read the messages.I must say, Google were amazingly helpful. Telstra are working on it.

  Telstra is one company. It is unreliable and not dependable. I would investigate what's really going on inside the company. I've been saying for years that technology, as it is now, is totally unreliable and dangerous when it doesn't work.

  @CrySlyFly @ialihasaan @Batman2242 Telstra didn't want to bid as Sol Trulijio hated Labor. They ended up not putting in a valid proposal. The other bidders weren't able to provide bids with sufficient financial support.
