murray calls time on telstra chairman, page-14

I quote senoj, referring to politicians, "not good to meet them head on; neither should they be reasoned with as they know the all the answers - best to be nice to them and slowly finesse the best solution for all of us."

Surely you jest! This mob ( and the previous Liberal lot seem to understand bugger all about telecommunications in Australia.)

It needs someone like McGauchie and Trujillo to tell them how it really is! Enough pussy-footing around as in the past. Telstra has enough strangleholds to operate under now without giving the government any more rope.

The situation is not helped by Trujillo pulling the pin at this critical stage, let alone losing McGauchie.

Personally, I can't see Ruddcom ever getting off the ground.
