Subject: full sale of telstra

I want to add my voice to others opposing the full sale of Telstra. I live in Tathra outside Bega, and although we have had upgrades of service 
in the past couple of years, we know from experience that when a service 
like this is privatised it means the end of interest in the regions, 
especially one as remote as this.
So many services have been lost to the bush in this rush to privatise , 
always to the detriment of the people who live there.Once things disappear, 
which Telstra certainly would, just like the banks, they are never replaced. Please do not privatise the rest of Telstra. Judy Horton 8 Mogareeka St Mogareeka via Tathra NSW 2550
