The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) will investigate whether the Future Fund was "tipped off" over the plan to split Telstra.
Future Fund chief executive Paul Costello yesterday remained tight-lipped in the face of sustained questioning over the fund's stance, as an investor, on the pending legislated separation of Telstra's operations.
The Australian Computer Society fired its then-CEO Kim Denham on 22 May 2009, ending her tenure in a role she had thought would last for three years and thereby, she claimed in court documents recently filed, putting her out of pocket.
Network information that Telstra submitted to the Federal Government under the initial National Broadband Network proposal may have been leaked.
In today's highly dynamic banking world, top-ranking technology tsars tend to change roles or company every few years. But some have more longevity. Long-time AMP chief information officer Lee Barnett fills us in on her priorities, seven years after she first won her role.

I was waiting for the UAC-based security problems to occur after Windows 7's release but alas that was not to be, for problems have occurred in the beta version of Windows 7.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
Ten years ago they were the young turks of Australia's business community; radical free-thinkers on the path to fame and riches. Shortly after, all those dreams came crashing down. But where are Australia's first dotcom moguls today, and what are they up to?
Like Rudd, the ingrained cynicism and frustration at things not going to plan in Australia's telecommunications industry blinds ACCC chair Graeme Samuel to the possibility that he is part of the problem.

In the heady days of January 2008, database maker Oracle had finally captured the prize that it had been courting for many months, BEA, and in an instant became the largest middleware player in the market. But are the real results yet to appear?

We've tested plenty of printers at CNET, but very few have frustrated us as much as the Brother DCP-165C multifunction has. The counter-intuitive set-up, bland design, deplorable print quality and crawling output speeds earn this printer a double thumbs down.
