The Printing Industries Association of Australia (PIAA) in its submission expressed the view that Telstra's decision to offshore its directory production processes was in direct conflict with the intentions of Australian policy makers when they were initiating Telstra's phased privatisation. See PIAA Submission 6, p. 3.
