I received a reply from Dr Washer's office (he is our local Federal

area that he promised in the election campaign would occur.
The advice is July 2005 -
That's simply not good enough !
So I pondered the question : Why should this be ?
Is it because Telstra is not allowed to compete with Private enterprise
?
Is there so little money to be made out of this function that private
enterprise are sitting on their hands ?
Is the " PRICE FIXING " by the ACCC the cause of the lack of
enterprise.
Did we allow the Federal Government to " CON " us into this competitive
enterprise
where the PROFITS go back to Shareholders INSTEAD of back into
INFRASTRUCTURE ?
If we can believe Mike's broad brush
then Private enterprise which has provided the u beaut American system
would surely be thundering down the straight to provide ours ! ?
If not, why not ?
