Appointment of Justin Milne, Group Managing Director, BigPond, Telstra.

I am pleased to announce that Justin Milne has been appointed Group Managing Director, BigPond.

Justin's appointment as GMD BigPond confirms the outstanding contribution that he and BigPond have made to Telstra's broadband business thus far, and will continue to deliver as broadband market leaders

Justin has led the BigPond team since December 2002 and has been a member of the CEO Leadership Team since 2004. He will continue to report directly to me. Prior to his career at Telstra, Justin was CEO of OzEmail, which at that time was our biggest ISP competitor and before that he ran the Microsoft Network in Australia.

As Managing Director of BigPond, Justin has led the organisation through its transition to becoming Australia's market-leading Internet Service Provider. This has included the introduction of "broadband at dial-up prices" in February 2004, which was a watershed in Australia's broadband history.

Justin's leadership also has seen BiaPond lead the market in developing online content development, online applications and the efforts of the team have been recognised with several national awards including this year's "Best ISP" award at the Australian Telecom Awards. Manu of the marketing campaians and commercials produced bu the BiaPond team in the last 3 years have also been awarded both in Australia and internationally.

As I have stated publicly many times, Broadband is the key to the future of Telstra, whether it be on a fixed platform or wireless, and I am very pleased to have Justin leading the BigPond team.

Justin is a board member and Past President of the Internet Industry Association. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Flinders University and is married with 5 children.

Regards Sol Trujillo CEO.
