  1. Re:Not true anymore on Telstra Denies Selling BigPond Customers' Data · · Score: 1
    Quote - You'll note that ..., the government has sidelined their plans to sell their shares.

    This, too, is not true - the Gov't does plan to sell it's 50.1% stake ASAP, but Telstra must first provide "the bush" greater access/service levels/support than it currently does to those living in metro areas.

    Oz is a very, very big country - far larger than the whole of Europe combined - and it will be a difficult ask for Gov't.

    The Govt will now spend about $AU180M (about $US100M) to do so.

    See one article about this here - http://smh.com.au/text/articles/2003/06/23/1056220 544959.htm

    Agree - but one could also add

    Wealth and power are like fleeting dreams
    but wise words perfume the world for ages

    Shame no-one in either China or India listens to those wise sages of their collective histoire - then they both could be putting their collective treasuries to better use.

    Well .. they weren't an "Awesome Foursome" were they?

    More's the pity they weren't even a "coxless four".

    Replaying the mpeg after d/l'ing crashed mine (Moz v1.3 Gecko/20030312) and the dialog box didn't pop up as per this bug, but ... the developers got all your post in the Talkback "Describe what you were doing" part!

    Australia: source - Aust Bureau of Statistics - http://www.abs.gov.au/

    only country in the world never to have been invaded by a foreign power;

    only country in the world never to have had a war fought on its own soil;

    only country in the world never to have had a civil war;

    only country in the world with the largest number of ethnic groups living in peaceful co-existence.

    Country of birth of Australia's population ? Over 180

    Deaths in last riot? - none
    Last riot? - can't remember

    Sadly, and to its eternal shame, this week is the first time in it's short history that Australia is involving itself in a "pre-emptive" war.
