		<description>The government needs to look at this situation, putting their head in the sand is not going to work. They do not have to be publicly involved, but can certainly put pressure on in the background to help resolve the issue.

come on national pick your game up...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;...Telecom’s reputation as an efficient, customer-focused communications provider and a reputable corporate citizen?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
They had one of those back when it was government owned. Its reputation has gone downhill since its sale in line with its &lt;i&gt;lack of&lt;/i&gt; customer focused policy.

I worked there Clare - Telecom doesn&#039;t focus on its customers but on the bottom line and it&#039;s profits. Telecommunications is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thestandard.org.nz/telecoms-profits-first-nz-second/#comment-154725&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;natural monopoly&lt;/a&gt; and you can&#039;t get away from that.</description>

		<description>Five years ago giving government sanction to Telecom&#039;s monopoly and now supporting unwarranted and disruptive industrial action. Labour are consistent.

Curran continues the long Labour tradition of doing anything and everything to disrupt information technology in New Zealand.

Labour will side with Telecom one year and with the Unionists the next in a &quot;my enemy&#039;s enemy is my friend&quot; strategy.

Labour&#039;s enemy is an informed, educated and connected populace. Such a populace is less susceptible to extreme-Left ideology and dogma that they peddle.</description>

		<description>yes. I heard the avoidance yesterday Question Time. Seemed a strange response given that telecommunications are a Vital part of the country. (Imagine how the country would cease to operate without it.) Maybe the feet are paddling furiously underneath?</description>
