LARA, this isnt as simple as that. its a complicated process. i have been on committees that oversighted commonwaealth tenders in previous years.
tenderers can contact the appropriate person and discuss and visit sites where there are complications within a written tender.
where some matter is ambiguos the govt, can put out an addendum to the original tender, so that a clear and precise tender can be obtained.
but this is about a personal conflict between a minister and telstra`s dsire not to be split up.
a conflict that is hurting families superannuation funds.
MISTYRAINS, i never said they were 100% invested in TLS, but what difference does the percentage make? i am sure their are some percentage invested in TLS.
The other factor of all this is > what if this tender is approved from an overseas tenderer committing millions of ozzie dollars to an overseas company, in the financial crisis we are in now. i thought rudd`s objective was to get australia going., not put funds into overseas coffers.
