Green, like anyone else, is innocent until proven guilty.

Oh, hang on: that’s not what the Left believes, is it?

Not so much of a technical issue as it is a mentality one !

Back to Optus. It's nothing to do with us who the next CEO is; it is nothing to do with plebs that these people don't know exist. Did you note the Disney-like mansion that the outgoing piece of plastic lives in?

I'm currently reading a book set in the late 18th. Century: mad King George days, when workers were starting to be replaced by machinery. There were the 'masters' and the rest, who had one set clothes and mainly bread to eat - when the could afford it. No democracy. Hangings and floggings at the whim of the few.

As I read, I can't help but compare it with where the 21st. Century 'masters' might be taking us. It is often said that democracy and the good times we've had over the last seven of eight decades has been an aberration - not the real nature of things. That might be right.

Optus, I thought was a well-known telecommunications
company owned by Singapore (Singtel). Many subscribed
to the network for a variety of reasons, I guess. We're
with Telstra - Australian owned. And we've never had
any problems. There's a Telstra shop nearby - and the
staff are great. No complaints thus far. Fingers-
crossed.

I guess this recent outage of Optus - just goes to show
how reliant we are on telecommunications these days.
Hopefully, the Senate investigations that apparently are
currently going on will let people know what happened and
what needs to be done to lessen the risks of it
happening again (if that's possible).

As for the former NSW Premier being appointed to the job
of CEO? I think she's already involved with Optus
professionally. Whether she gets the appointment - will
depend on how well Optus thinks she's currently performing.
Singapore may also want to appease the Australian government
by appointing a local as CEO - or it may be part of a deal
made with the government? Who knows? In any case - it would
be good if one of our own was to be appointed - instead of
like qith QANTAS and the previous bloke from overseas.

I'm a firm believer in supporting our own.

We are constantly told by our betters that we need more women in senior positions in big business. Yet when irrational community anger requires, the community goes after women who have made it with some relish and joy.

I've yet to see anyone decrying the loss of yet another accomplished women.

She's a scapegoat and no one seems to be the least concerned about that.

I guess many people are more concerned about having
access to the essential services that they need rather
than worrying about any CEO - male or female.
