It seems Bernard that the Ode to contentment would appear to suggest
that Telstra existed before Eve...

Checking Genesis for citations...

Ahh, I see the problem, the Ode refers to knights in the plural which of

Therefore I'm afraid we will have to state that this historical claim is
obviously "Busted"!

Like that other popular myth... Telstra is good for the Economy.
