Government Corruption, Bribery and Extortion. 

This is the chilling tale of a group of ordinary small business owners ensnared in a treacherous battle against one of the country's most powerful corporations—Telstra. For years, these committed individuals found their businesses crippled by a relentless onslaught of phone issues. Each time they reached out for help, Telstra coldly dismissed their pleas with the phrase "No fault found," despite the mountain of evidence—painstakingly documented and available on our website—that proved otherwise, as detailed in AUSTEL’s Adverse Findings.

The situation spiralled further into darkness as Telstra and its legal arbitration defence team resorted to a web of deceit, manipulating the judicial process through insidious and unethical tactics. They intercepted crucial faxes, delaying the delivery of vital Freedom of Information documents for months or even years—often with extensive censorship that rendered them almost incomprehensible. Disturbingly, they destroyed essential documentary evidence while fabricating false narratives that cast doubt on the legitimacy of the COT Four's claims.

As this chaotic arbitration process unfolded, the arbitrator turned a blind eye to the key issues central to our fight. Despite our relentless efforts to bring attention to these critical concerns, we were met with nothing but silence and indifference. Meanwhile, the regulatory bodies meant to act as watchdogs—Austel, supposedly upholding the government’s interests, and the TIO, advocating for the telecommunications carriers—failed to rein in Telstra's corrupt practices, appearing to conspire against our desperate quest for justice. In this dark atmosphere of betrayal and treachery, the battle raged on, leaving the ordinary citizens to face the monstrous corporate machine alone.
