Whingeing farmers may simply be cut off from the rest of the telephone network under a controversial plan being circulated within telecoms incumbent Telstra.
The farmers, who expect a call between Upper Cumbuck West and Sydney to be as cheap and clear and reliable as a call from Sydney to North Sydney, would then be incapable of ringing their National party representatives to complain.
The National Party has given tentative approval to the plan, but says that key details have yet to be worked out. A spokesman told The Daily Grind that adequate safeguards needed to be put in place to protect the MPs when they were in their electorate offices as well.
Telstra is advising farmers currently unable to access broadband internet to “go milk a cow or something”.
