Pity we can't fire ALL the politicians and start fresh.
Or bring back/revive the careers of politicians past.
Dunno 'bout many of 'em, but I say we bring back Gough!!!!!
Now there was a gentleman... a true statesman... and there hasn't been one since.
Met Bill Hayden years ago... nice bloke from Ipswich, Qld... he too was a gentleman and statesman.
Anyhow, let's not turn this into a politician bashing exercise... plenty of deserving media/telecommunication moguls out there with parasitic desires on your/our back pockets.
And in the famous words of Ted Bullpit: "Somebody ought to blow Telstra; Optus; Vodaphone, etc up."
While on the subject of Aussie internet speeds, I was getting up to 94 - 95mbs on the NBN [fibre from the node] until my feching mother feched it up for me and I had to move... and the bill keeps growing... despite arranging with Telstra to temporarily suspend my service until I find suitable accommodation. Went into my account earlier and they reckon I owe nearly $700 for the months of September, October and November. All my services were disconnected on August 30, so somebody's getting a right royal blasting later on, with the ombudsman being brought in should I not receive a satisfactory result.
Again, I put this behaviour down to greed, as many people wouldn't question it and would pay the bill to avoid making a fuss... well not me! I will demand the bill be wiped, and if they don't do it willingly I'll kick 'em in the corporate gonads [metaphorically speaking], and I have a few ways to skin the proverbial cat, so it will be interesting should the fechers decide to be awkward.
