Sometimes in IT, you have to go back to the drawing board.

You have depicted Conroy for what he is. Here's some food for thought.
I take the liberty to share with zdnet Forumites my eleventh hour plea. Albeit, I am heartened by some kind words I received from Senator Ludlam from the Greens:
"On the balance of the evidence we received in the inquiry, should the Telstra Board remain in constructive negotiations with the government, and should our amendments be passed, there is no reason for Telstra shareholders to fear a risk to their investment."
..... "the Telstra workforce and all participants in telecommunications markets. Read my comments here:"

Dear Senator Fielding,
I am terribly sorry to be a nuisance and taking up your time but since my last communication with your good self, you seem to be the last hope of millions of Australians who are dependent on Telstra for their well being: Telstra's 30,000 workforce, millions of its consumers, millions who have invested in superannution, retirement nest eggs, and retail managed Funds. Lastly, but not least, 1.6 million direct investors who have lawfully acquired Telstra shares in good faith from our Federal Government. 　
The point of concern is the haste of passing the Telsta bill without due process. Also, debating and passing two mammoth bills which could haunt us for decades, in a matter of two weeks during the silly season is sheer lunacy, to say the least.
Senator Nick Xenophon is reported to have already said that he backs a structural separation of Telstra as long as regional Australia gets a fair deal. "It's going to be a hell of a two weeks given the amount of
legislation the government wants to get through." So, there you have it. Disrupt and destroy Telstra as a means to an end; not necessarily a principled or ethical one and having our Senate relegated to a production line akin to a sausage factory.
Kind Regards
Vasso Massonic
you manipulated a bible quote (or a pulp fiction quote, which is in my opinion more terrible) to glorify CONROY???????
dont get me wrong the pics cool, but jesus lady =P
Vengence is mine said the Lord, God is not mocked. And a mighty halocost of brimstone and fire shall alight on the heads of those who conspire to demonise a good and faithful Company. And there shall be crying and gnashing of teeth as those who defy the Lord and deny the goodness of Telstra, and they will be cast into the bowels of Earth to eternal terror and damnation.
For Conroy shall lead the 22 million Austral-ites out of the shadow of the Telstra valley of competition death and they shall dwell in the happy land of freedom of choice ever more.
All hail Conroy who has gone where no polly has dared to venture previously and has smitten the Telstra Goliath which was terrorising all the good people of Austral. Yea verily.
