    Imagine if they invested on the short term stock market and did poorly and lost squillions....easy enough done as evidenced by what happened to our super funds when COVID arrived.

    Short term trading via computers makes money, not loses it. You see any banks or brokers at Centrelink...

    I hate to burst your bubble of delusion but we haven't been a sharing, caring, semi equitable society since the 1970's
    And companies like Telstra, banks & most big business are probably at the worst end of the scale.

    Australia & the world are becoming less equitable by the day & I see bad things eventually coming from it.

    Most people are only interested in their self & maybe immediate family, as long as they are OK who cares about the rest?

    I admit to being a Left leaning semi socialist capitalists'. So I do have some odd ideas but the more the rich take (including corporations) & the less the rest see themselves getting is just, one day, asking for trouble.

    Now back to Telstra, how's that going?

    Crikey, that is a bit of a split personality, Paul.

    Yep!
    I was bought up by rich people with social conscience & do what you can attitude.
    I was told you can't do good if you don't have anything.
    So I turned out a bit strange.

    No bubble burst at all - but I like to try at least - maybe old fashioned I know but whatever. I don’t mind if people think Il strange because of their **** poor attitudes to the rest of society - like so many on here seem to have.

    Direct debit and similar schemes are designed to force off the system those who l lead a more shall we say chaotic life style who are not always able to pay on time.

    It is subtle as all appears to be set up to assist the customer however you are selecting customers who are able to operate a bank account to the satisfaction of the bank. Bank fees are significant as a percentage of your income if you are counting the pennies. You then fall further behind as there are fees on fees that have taken most of your next income cheque.

    Late payment goes way down very quickly as these people self disengage from the supplier. Which for them is a rational economic decision. No bad press for the supplier
