| 752923 | 2009-03-03 03:36:00 | :lol::lol::lol: Serves the lying bastards right The Judge found that comparing the 3 complaints against the several million calls not complained about that there was no propensity to break the law. Compare that with the BS stories you get in any DSE, Noel Leeming, Harvey Norman etc etc. |

| 752925 | 2009-03-03 03:41:00 | Only $45,000. The lawyers on both sides possibly recieved more than that. This being that Justice should be swift. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 752926 | 2009-03-03 09:39:00 | They may be liars, but they are good at cheating and being incompetent . Possibly that is why they can afford to be so arrogant . Pfft . $45,000 . They probably spend more on souvenir teaspoons each month . Chorus? ? More like an orchestrated litany . . . |

| 752927 | 2009-03-03 18:06:00 | Yes, we have all known that all of their "offers" and "special deals" have a catch in them somewhere. 45,000 to them is just a joke ! didn't The Warehouse get fined $ 200,000 the other day ? |

| 752928 | 2009-03-03 18:59:00 | $45,000 to them is just a joke ! didn't The Warehouse get fined $ 200,000 the other day ? Even $200,000 would be petty cash to Telecom. Can't imagine too much worry, particularly when they make over one million dollars each day. Company fines should be assessed by a percentage of the profit they make. Fining Telecom the equivalent of a month's profit would be more the point. I still cannot understand the reasoning behind selling Telecom. Before the split into three companies, the Post Office was making a modest profit. That profit was made by the Telecom portion. There was enough left to prop up the inefficient postal and banking departments and still leave a few million for the government to plunder. All three departments were not models of efficiency but they still managed, with Telecom's help, to keep out of the red. These days they are efficient (in comparison) and all are making money - piles of money - and it is all going to the shareholders, a large proportion of which are overseas, America in particular. I feel certain that, had the government retained Telecom and increased efficiency, there would be plenty of money - Telecom profits - that could have been invested in areas that desperately need help - the police, the hospitals and education. Imagine the benefits if each were allowed a month's worth of Telecom profits annually. :mad: |

Read the whole judgement, Telecom wasn't fined for something they did, it was basically for not making it clearer to the call centre operators when to shut up . In one of the three cases an operator padded his answer with something he thought he's read in PC World magazine, unfortunately he was talking to an ex Telecom Engineer . |
