  @ProjVictoria @OMGTheMess Correct not all pay dividends .. usually those that do don’t grow much, take Telstra who pay dividends 2000 a share was $8 or so, 2025 it was about $4 a share. The poor who buy small amounts of metals, crypto or stocks are going to be stomped into the ground.. theft.. taking away peoples only hope of using that vehicle to home ownership.

  Will be late to the iOS 27 beta this year because, as usual, my Telstra internet keeps crashing. 12+ times a day. Fix your **** @telstra, this is incompetent.

  @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.

  @MickamiousG @Starlink Does having 3 units get you a higher tier of support though? I'd get support this efficient through telstra chat as a gold customer. Spend something like $300 a month.

  @WSWanderingEels On the rare occasion Vodafone customer I actually agree with Telstra yes you have to go now if you’re the NRL like yeah 2029 if you want to beat the AFL over anything then this would be the one AFL hasn’t even talked about 20th team. Time for the NRL to put up or shut up

  Same with Telstra. Anyone who has hearing issues finds it very frustrating when you are speaking with someone from overseas with a strong accent.

  @VoteLewko @Starlink @Telstra is shameful. Continue to increase their prices but I cant service 45 minutes out of Melbourne.
