I'm not joking about "mass destruction". If adversary take control and bringing down telco of size of Optus will cause massive damage. Strict policies there are for reason.
Australia democracy ends where corp start. There is no democracy inside any corp. Just dictatorship of different level malevolency.

    The government needs to exercise Eminent Domain over all critical infrastructure.

    • Telecommunication
    • Water
    • Energy.

    The damage of Jeff Kennett and John Howard can be reversed.
