Victorian Bush Fires = Telstra the Tight

The recent tragedy that has hit Victoria was in the form of bush fires. Irrespective of the alleged allegations that they could have been started by a disturbed individual, one of the prime concerns at the moment is to REBUILD peoples lives.

Many businesses have pledged to donate $1,000,000 for aid towards the reconstruction of destroyed homes, and getting people back on track.

Companies in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, like David Jones have pledged to give $500,000 in David Jones vouchers. Since in the clothing industry, as common mark up figure of 500% is acknowledged, a further insult to injury is the DJ only will donate $100,000 of their REAL money.

Another lame effort by Telstra is that they are only offering initially $500,000.

Telstra's profit for 2008 was in the vicinity of $4,000,000,000 on par with the banks like NAB, who have pledged to donate more.

Aaahhhh Sol, maybe you should have a good hard look at yourself in the mirror, and not on your outdated 3G mobile, that 3 introduced to Australia 2 years before you did.

SHAME SHAME SHAME !!!
