Dear Senator………

Alarm bells are ringing in all directions and it’s not even April fools day.

Reading headlines in just one newspaper (The Sydney Morning Hearld) in the Premier State of New South Wales is enough to put one in a spin.

* “Labor must find $632 million” – “Rudd hones razor to fund new doctors”

* “Hospital networks too small for services”

* “Training facilities already under strain, doctors warn”

All this in just one industry.

On a brighter note, or somber – take your pick.

Opus, in a third page advertisement – “Super-fast broadband” …. 90 GB for $60, Save over $950″

If the small print combination is true, what chance has NBN Co to match this, after spending the much needed $43 billion, in eight years time and facing a real decline in fixed terrestrial telecommunication lines. Before we start demolishing Telstra, let us all chew over what is it we are trying to achieve. .

Let us all spare a though for Australians, living outside the safe precincts of metropolitan fortresses.

I have been viewing your action in the senate and marvel at your dedication. Keep up the great work.

Kind Regards

Vasso Massonic

Concerned Telstra shareholder

That’s pretty funny coming from someone who lives in a big gingerbread Telstra house, where Telstra are more perfectly perfect than perfection (because the portfolio said) and those leeching trolls all live under the bridge…

Hmmm, thanks for pointing that out Vasso Massonic, I see a clear case of plagiarism of my written word. How dare they, what is the Internet coming to ? (*much needed Brevity*)

Go for it guys, I’ve given up watching television to read the wonderful commentaries at TE .

I thought you have always claimed to simply be a concerned patriotic citizen and nothing more (who never had, did have, didn’t have, don’t have, oh yes did have and do have after all) TLS shares, lol…

Telstra’s global rating was tested and came up tops. It successfully secured a prized Eurobond of 1 billion maturing on 23 March 2020 with a coupon rate of 4.25 per cent. What’s more, it was oversubscribed six times.

joker 2…”Like I said Telstra should agree with the government and get on with business”

What lunacy, – The Australian Financial Review 16 March 2010:

“Labor under fire on broadband”

* Secret CSIRO study revealed……. * Senators demand…… details * Telstra vote faces delay

You can keep pretending that butter wouldn’t melt in the Telstra mouth all you like, simply because you are 100% biased and believe it will help your shares pick up. But as I have said before and Mr. Buckley proves the point, all your sugary drivel is doing is turning more people against Telstra! Seriously!

After reading Mr. Buckley’s comments, he appears to be attacking you greedy few more than just Telstra, just as I do…He may well also be an opponent, but my bet is he’s a typical Aussie who (like me) is simply sick of hearing you guy’s ridiculous portfolio driven Telstra praise 24/7.

Truth is Sydney – you are an agent provocateur and trouble maker who praises Telstra and disparages all of their opponents daily, here, there and everywhere to promote your own self interest (shares). And frankly I find you inference to Mr. Buckley (who has commented once to your thousands) hypocritically, nauseating!

BTW Bruno, I am currently making money on my recent TLS purchase. So thanks Sol, for overseeing a fall from $5.06 to $3.45 and thanks too Sol for Telstra’s non compliant NBN bid, which lead to further falls and the subsequent separation announcement, taking the shares southward to $2.88.

A vote for Mr. Abbott = a vote for Singapore – your words prior to the last election, just replacing Mr. Howard with Mr. Abbott. You said this as you openly supported Mr. Rudd, lol.

Lol… the opposition if they win government, are thinking of rekindling OPEL – more for your to whinge about.

And look here as well –

The coalition were previously “seriously considering separating Telstra too”.

Here’s a tip, when you get to the ballot box flip a coin, lol…

Like I said Telstra should agree with the government and get on with business.
