Dear Mr Looney
Broadband access
Thank you for your letter dated 20 October 2008 to the Prime Minister, the Hon Kevin Rudd MP, ”concerning” access to broadband services in Menindee.
Your letter has been forwarded to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator the Hon Stephen Conroy, as he has portfolio responsibility for this matter.
The Minister has asked the Department to review your letter and respond on his behalf.
MY REPLY:::My contacting Government “Concerns” Telstra’s illegal, immoral standover behaviour! REPLY END
I appreciate your concerns regarding the difficulties you have experienced in trying to obtain a broadband service where you live, and note that you have been in contact with the
Department on a number of occasions previously.
I understand that you spoke to an officer from the Department's Broadband Consumer
Support section ”most recently” on 20 October 2008, and it was determined that you were,
in fact, eligible for an Australian Broadband Guarantee service. An information pack
confirming your eligibility and providing details of registered providers has been posted to
you.
MY REPLY:::By “Most Recently” you or someone is trying to be clever, alluding to a false pretence understanding that a previous ABG inquiry had taken place?
I had no previous contact in regards to an ABG application, nor did I apply for ABG at any time contacting Telstra or Internode for information regarding service availability as a prerequisite for ABG approval!
I have never stated other than being able to receive ADSL made available to Menindee in 2006 confirmed by Telstra for my address, supported in all my correspondence & discussions with Government and ABG map!
Events are described on www.broadband.notice.com.au of which Government has been informed on many occasions and I now proceed with legal action against the Government for Entrapment & defamation of me! REPLY END
Thank you for bringing your concerns to the Government's attention. I trust this matter has now
been ”resolved” to your satisfaction.
CONTINUE REPLY:::This has not been resolved!
I request:
Telstra forgo the right to hold my account or charge line rental, demonstrating remorse & accountability!
TIO re-writes a corrected SUMMARY including my facts and description of events as credible against Telstra.
Telstra and the TIO apologise unreservedly, considering the forced venerability in being given less credibility.
The Government demonstrates in practice that they can and will protect me now, and all its citizens into the future from Telstra’s oppressive behaviour, requesting that Telstra confirm if an available line would be Exetel ADSL suitable and connected immediately ready for Exetel ADSL with the full cooperation of Telstra!
END REPLY:::Yours sincerely Gary Looney

The Joys of Living in the Bush
Have just waded through all (I think) of the notes from Gary.
Apart from an obvious stuff up by a Telstra techo with the wiring, I suspect that the majority of his issues are common to the bush.
I have read in a number of forums that residents living outside cities or large country town have the expectation that they will receive the same services to larger town and city people, at an equivalent cost. Obviously affordable service levels are directly related to the volume of users requiring those services.
The most common complaints on forums are:
a. The costs of services (usually expensive due to low volumes of users)
b. The available providers (often not cost effective for more than one (Telstra) to be provider)
c. Speed of service (not cost effective for any provider to have a high speed service to many areas unless the Government subsidises)
- there is also the expectation that, if a line speed is, say 1Gb/sec, then the user will receive that speed. It appears that many providers do not explain that this speed is rarely ahievable due to server speeds and data routing.
d. Delay in support (again due to distances involved, not economic for providers to have more than a couple of techos for a remote area)
Sorry, but today, business (including Telstra) needs to run an economically viable service, and unless the Government is prepared to heavily subsidise a service, the the old saying that "you get what you pay for" is only too true. In other words, if an individual in a remote area is not prepared to pay a consider sum, then they will only get 2nd rate infrastructure. This is not only true in the bush, but also true in the new suburbs of major cities.
Gary, if I were you I would give up, as I doubt that anybody would be prepared to legally take on the Government / Telstra / ACCC. Even if you did, it sounds like Telstra would still be the only practical provider for you to deal with, at a reasonable cost, so I would not hold my breath waiting for service.
Hello,
Its me again "Gary Looney", a farmer from Menindee NSW that tried to move from a water reliant agricultural business growing vegetable and apricots to a sustainable business on line that would involve helping fellow outback residents through drought related issues.
On my website (Put online through public computer via USB) I describe unfair treatment by a Telecommunications Company that denied liability for resultant disadvantage caused, leaving me powerless to have the truth acknowledged.
Initially I thought the company would apologise unreservedly with admission of error and compensate my loss, but found instead the response was to fight virulently with denial.
The average person is no match for the legal resources and assumption of credibility such Companies have. I disconnected all services in 2006 having no phone or Internet since!
All documentation has been put on line at:
http://www.broadband.notice.com.au
I have provided evidence to the ACCC, Liberal and Labor party showing in detail how Telstra with the help of the TIO has covered up there immoral actions against me, this is in black and white to the extent that within their own submission material and assessment of, there are serious contradictions suggesting even to a layman with average comprehension skills that these organisation worked together to achieve a pro-Telstra response and hide liability! Complexly altering the facts that were in breach of the Trade Practices Act and failing acceptable moral standards.
Accordingly the TIO's findings are knowingly based on lies and manipulation showing what we in the real-world have known all along, that the TIO is not independent of Telstra (being their initial founder with Optus) nor is the TIO non-bias, fair or credible and accordingly neither can their judgement be!
The ACCC assessment of my case is also erroneous as it did not recognise the facts I state above and there-for is based on a premise that Telstra and the TIO have behaved in a fair, acceptable manner! Additionally their written assessment has errors of comprehension which contradict easily recognised facts when referenced against available provided information; accordingly the pro-Telstra/TIO assessment findings of the ACCC cannot be accurate or treated as credible!
Telstra cannot be Trusted to treat me fairly as shown, nor could it be expected of me to Trust Telstra in any future dealings and because of this I have been disadvantaged for over two years going without phone or Internet, Telstra owns the only infrastructure in our exchange and copper connection would be the only viable option in both price and bandwidth to start a business I had planned in 2006 to move from my then water reliant agriculture for a sustainable future income!
Labor Government Uses Entrapment:
I have stated Telstra did not mention existence of Satellite, ISDN or HiBIS when I requested high speed internet in 2005.
Telstra's offer as the only available service was standard PSTN dialup, which from the customers view point is a "Telstra Service Qualification" HiBIS actual eligibility had no relevance because "as stated" its existence was not mentioned by Telstra!
After Telstra connected the PSTN line they then proceeded to offer other services not previously mentioned or acknowledged as available, offering Wireless in my area with CDMA at 256 or 512kb/s which was, and had never been available then connecting ISDN as the then claimed fastest Telstra internet service available!
After a discussion in 2006 with a Telstra Technician he informed me that at such time ADSL services were made available in our exchange I was within suitable connection range for such services!
After ADSL services were connected in Menindee I stated not being eligible for ABG based on this and more recent general correspondence with others such as the General Manager of Internode "Simon Hackett" on the 2nd of October 2008!
In response to previous letters to Mr. Rudd asking to find a lawful solution in order that I need not deal with Telstra I received a message on the morning of the 20th Oct 08 to call Helene.
Helene stated "you are not as smart as you think, think you understand ABG"
I responded by maintaining and reiterating my ineligibility to which Helene said "You are eligable, I will just sign you up!"
Helene then asked were on the map I lived and after moving the pin said you can get ADSL to which I said that's what I told you already!
Explaining the General Manager of Internode had told me that: "where we have Naked DSL on our own hardware we can easily supply services at that copper length" to which Helene said I will just sign you up, the providers will not check?
After getting off the ph I used a public computer to take screenshots showing my Online ABG ineligibility results & faxed them to Mr.Rudd & Mr.Turnbull!
A Government pre-prepared ABG Customer Declaration form arrived by mail in which Helene had taken it upon herself to falsify and fabricate information, claiming: I had contacted Telstra Bigpond on the 20th of August and Internode the 1st of September, further claiming the reasons why a service could not be provided was: "Too far from exchange"!
This shows just how much we can trust Government and authorities to protect the average person, if you cannot afford to protect your self against such powerful people then you evidently forgo the right to lawful existence
Have you had a similar experience, is it only me they show no respect for, let us know!
