The government gifted telstra money and got nothing in return. Before you say it’s because it’s partially government owned, the government had to pay top dollar to buy Telstra’s copper network for NBN. This is just business as usual for our liberal government


This is scandalous. Taxpayers pay 1.33 billion, yet Telstra owns "100 percent of the ordinary equity".

Please someone explain to me how this is not blatant corruption.
