My take on the past and future from a personal prospective:
John Howard was no Robin Hood when he stole Telstra from the many and sold it to the few that could afford to buy shares.
It is rich that Mr. Minchin can now take the populist high moral ground claiming Telstra should not be broken up and unfortunately Kevin Rudd hasn’t a reply, it is through no fault of his own that funds have dissolved reducing the possibilities!
There is now no easy answer, the previous Government failed to leave its options open in regards to network access or planning for broader population revenue through long term infrastructure!
Both Governments greed based ignorance towards the obvious limitations to self-regulation will only be realised when the top end of town start to suffer on an individual level, the resultant extent of divide at this point will be extreme and lasting!
I think even in the face of a harder road we need to break Telstra up!

Here’s some of my experience:

My name is Gary Looney, a farmer from Menindee NSW that tried to move from a water reliant agricultural business growing vegetable and apricots to a sustainable business on line that would involve helping fellow outback residents through drought related issues.

On my website (Put online through public computer via USB) I describe unfair treatment by a Telecommunications Company that denied liability for resultant disadvantage caused, leaving me powerless to have the truth acknowledged.

Initially I thought the company would apologise unreservedly with admission of error and compensate my loss, but found instead the response was to fight virulently with denial.

The average person is no match for the legal resources and assumption of credibility such Companies have. I disconnected all services in 2006 having no phone or Internet since!

All documentation has been put on line at:

I have provided evidence to the ACCC, Liberal and Labor party showing in detail how Telstra with the help of the TIO has covered up there immoral actions against me, this is in black and white to the extent that within their own submission material and assessment of, there are serious contradictions suggesting even to a layman with average comprehension skills that these organisation worked together to achieve a pro-Telstra response and hide liability! Complexly altering the facts that were in breach of the Trade Practices Act and failing acceptable moral standards.

Accordingly the TIO's findings are knowingly based on lies and manipulation showing what we in the real-world have known all along, that the TIO is not independent of Telstra (being their initial founder with Optus) nor is the TIO non-bias, fair or credible and accordingly neither can their judgement be!

The ACCC assessment of my case is also erroneous as it did not recognise the facts I state above and there-for is based on a premise that Telstra and the TIO have behaved in a fair, acceptable manner! Additionally their written assessment has errors of comprehension which contradict easily recognised facts when referenced against available provided information; accordingly the pro-Telstra/TIO assessment findings of the ACCC cannot be accurate or treated as credible!

Telstra cannot be Trusted to treat me fairly as shown, nor could it be expected of me to Trust Telstra in any future dealings and because of this I have been disadvantaged for over two years going without phone or Internet, Telstra owns the only infrastructure in our exchange and copper connection would be the only viable option in both price and bandwidth to start a business I had planned in 2006 to move from my then water reliant agriculture for a sustainable future income!

This shows just how much we can trust Government and authorities to protect the average person, if you cannot afford to protect your self against such powerful people then you evidently forgo the right to lawful existence

Have you had a similar experience, is it only me they show no respect for, let us know!
