Poor old Telecom

They said that the unbundling didn't bother them much and said "it's not just about money, you've got to do what's best for the public" Yeah right. Well their shareholders don't think so. Over 10% of their value has been wiped off. This represents $1.1 billion and that's just today.

Maybe we'll start seeing better products at more competitive prices and start getting some service.

About time.

Meanwhile, the lefties are pissed that it leaked. They wanted to release this during their budget to catch more votes. Ha, ha!

Hang on a minute. As an unrepentant right wing capitalist, how come you aren't defending the rights of the telecom shareholders? And the right of the corporation to do as it sees fit with its own property, so as to maximise efficiency and wealth creation?

Oh come on, stop bitching about the corporate entity, start thinking about the people affected by this. The human side of this. Just think what Teresa's bonus is now looking like for the 2007 financial year.

Hang on are you saying that because he gets fucked off with the fact that the goverment feels its better to invest money on a bunch of worthless oxigen thiefs he's a right wing capitalist and that he should back a company that basically ass fuck all of us rich and poor?

Not backing the company has nothing to do with right wing

No , his previous posts established him as a right wing capitalist. So I'm just surprised to see him supporting a (admittedly very timid) form of nationalisation and state control. I guess you could say it shows how bad Telecom must be when even the right wing capitalists hate it.
