Subject: Telstra

Dear Sir/Madam

I wish to express my disapproval for the proposed selling off of Telstra.  I believe that government ownership (small as it may be) is the only way to ensure that services will always be available equally to the people of Australia at a reasonable price.  Increased costs are being slugged on the consumer now let alone when it is fully privatised.  This government has sold off enough of Australias businesses and assets already LEAVE TELSTRA ALONE!

 

Another question I have relates to the entitlements of employees if the Liberals get their bloody minded way will they be protected? (perhaps John Howards relations could run the new privatised Telstra and the public can again bail him out when the company goes under).

 

Telstra is crucial to Australia and its people lets leave it Australian, owned by its people!
