Wait, so my phone was brought through Telstra. It’s on boost so I assume no worries there. But my wife’s phone was brought from jb. Are you telling me an iPhone 14 Pro brought from an Australian retailer 12 months ago might no longer work on Telstra?!?!

anyone else does this its a war crime. just saying.

Even IF the CFMEU is fucked, this is massive overreach, imo. Even if we take the claims at total face value, do they want criminals to not have jobs that pay the bills? Because that’s how you get crime. No one is getting into cooking meth for the funsies.

So what are we supposed to do here? Let the union clean itself up? We've been making that joke a very long time.

well, I'm stealing something next time I'm in the store then. Fuck this.

So you’re not an Aussie? Cool ok so you’ve got no idea what this country is like. That makes sense.

I dont think you "get" it. I'm saying people are going to be cut off. 5g simply doesnt reach as far, its coverage range is greatly reduced compared to 3g or even 4g. And there is no solution for that. the telcos sure as shit arnt gonna go out there and build a bunch more towers for no one except a koala or 2 to regularly use. We're cutting the service to a not 0% of the population.

This might be fine in Europe, But not a large country like us.

Better allocation of spectrum is not just for social media. That’s like saying nbn was not needed as what we had before was fast enough for email.

Kind of disagree. NBN didnt cost network to deploy. Well, kind of but kind of not. What does faster netflix mean to someone in a fringe 3g area when we upgrade their 5GN that they cant get anyway?

This thing should be shelved indefinitely. We're taking a massive chunk of the coverage area and scrapping it with 0 intention of applying a better solution here, all so people can get their twitter and email faster.

people defaulting on the mortgages whilst coles and woolies profiteer like mother fuckers?

So what are lawmakers doing about social media algorithms? Age restrictions?

Have you considered that you are the problem here?
