Who is Mark Holden (or am I not watching enough tv?)?
Lack of talent - well that goes without saying. Full sale of Tesltra - I still can't find anyone who honestly voted for telstra. Last federal election I was a 2IC in a polling booth and saw some of the tatics used by the liberal party scrutineers interfering with the count of the vote - if you are a scrutineer you don't touch the votes. This guy despite my repeated warning kept pick up the votes - he had a pencil in his other hand. I wanted him thrown out of the booth and the votes he had touched left out of the count and as void. But OIC overruled me and allowed him to stay and the votes to stand. Telstra will be sold and the govt doesn't give a rat fuck (or a rats arse) about the rural voters or their problems with the phone service - one of the reasons they are trying to sell it, so they don't have to pay for repairs - recent report has surfaced where Telstra admits the price of repairs is going to go up coz so much of the network in the outback is becoming faulty due to age. MY views on the current make up of the team are well known. Why did we wait so long to replace Gillespie, Why are Hayden and Langer still there? Despite their 100s they waited till it was almost too late (which it might be now with the weather) to fire? Why can't I have Wanie or the 12th man from Guyra as captain? Lets also change some of the support staff as well. Australia winning the Ashes - lets look at if from Ponting's view, there is always next time - I must admit my faith in the Australian Team is a bit lacking of late - I feel the Ashes are lost. Ponting will be remembered as the captain that lost the ashes.
A tough one, maybe I'll sleep on that one. We all still love Mistress Maevy.
