[LINK] Dealing with Telstra's short-cuts

[David Boxall]

It's fairly common to see Telstra copper tied to rural fences. I've 
never known them to even seek permission. The fence belongs to the 
landholder. Telstra is using it to prop up their property. Surely the 
landholder is entitled to rent or something.
