Telstra rang me today to try and sell me their stinking nextg wireless broadband.
Me: What does it cost
Testra chick :$34 for 500mb
I pay $47 for isdn with unlimited downloads and I use 3 gig
Testra chick : We are closing the isdn network.
Testra chick : 3 Gig will cost you $117 per month sir.
Me (changing direction): Would you deal with someone who practises deceptive & misleading methods
Testra chick : Oh no I certainly wouldn't
Me: Well telstra has been found guilty in a court of law of indulging in decepitive and misleading practices
End of discussion.
(I forgot to tell her that nextg only works here occaisionally)
Guys,
There are plenty of people making plenty of money on the back of these OH&S crazes. Its also worse in some states than others and yes, Vic is the worst. But its been that way for at least 10 years.
A story doing the rounds concerns an incident on a farm where he lost his life in a tractor accident. As the structure was a trust and there were two trustees WorkCover decided to go the other for having an unsafe workplace, ipso facto. You can guess what comes next, she gets charged and summoned for the death of her husband by Workcover.
Never heard an ending, but its a good story.
