Terria Chairman - Arthur or Martha?

Frp,
http://www.nowwearetalking.com.au/ne...thur-or-martha

The Terria Chairman, Michael Egan doesn't know if he's Arthur or Martha -
one minute calling Telstra a monopolist, the next saying that Terria members
have been building networks all over Australia for years. It's a bit like
the group he represents - SingTel, sorry G9, sorry G8, sorry Terria. It's
hard to keep up with who they are or what they represent.

Mr Egan keeps misrepresenting Telstra's position, repeating this idea that
Telstra doesn't want open access when he knows it isn't true. (In this
week's speech Phil Burgess said:

"For example saying that we don't want to have an open access network.
Every proposal we've made since September of 2005 has been for an open
access network but some people think if you just go out there and repeat
untruths long enough that they'll catch hold and people will believe them."

Mr Egan, like his masters at SingTel Optus, desperately wants to keep the
attention on Telstra and avoid scrutiny of his own plan or inability to
deliver the NBN project. He is a politician pretending to be a businessman.

Australians have a right to know Michael Egan's track record. Just look at
the controversial Cross City Tunnel.

Mr Egan is on the public record, in December 2005, stating he wants the
kudos for the Cross City Tunnel. It was a nearly $1 billion project (cost
$860 million). He authorised the project, signed off, and oversaw it the
whole way through.

Under Mr Egan, the Cross City Tunnel -

a.. Took nearly ten years before a single car drove through it
b.. At just 2.1 kilometres long, and just under $4 each way for a normal
car, is the most expensive tollway in Australia
c.. Almost nobody uses it - maximum traffic peaked at a third of the
projected figures
d.. Forced the closure of 13 other roads in the area, causing public
uproar, which later led them to be re-opened
e.. Led to the collapse of Cross City Tunnel Motorway Consortium - just
over a year after it opened - owing $570 million

Corse the fuckwit hippo never ever does anything like that, one minute
proclaiming that they wont be doing NBN because it wont produce a high
enough return, the next saying that it absolutely must be done right now.

Only for those with a problem with ear to ear dog shit.

Corse Telstra never ever does anything like that, eh ?

How odd that they refused to roll out the NBN with open access, liar.

Bare faced lie.

You in spades, liar.

And the hippo is a hippo pretending to be an academic.

The hippo's and the spivy little mex's record in spades.

<reams of juvenile shit flushed where it belongs>

It's probably worth noting that http://www.nowwearetalking.com.au "is
managed by Telstra".
Yet the article you quoted is purportedly an 'interview' of a Telstra
executive. Easter Bunny material.

It should be spelt Terrier - a yapping little object making nips on your
ankle till you boot it one and it slinks away.
