"Exactly what capacity did he work for UWA as? As a Telstra worker, contractor of a company or employee of UWA.
And do you work in a technical capacity in your job?"
I think it was GROK who asked this back on Thread #8
He worked at UWA as a Telstra tech, employed by Telstra, and contracted out to the university to look after the uni's comms system on an intermittent basis between 2012-2015 (from memory) He filled in for the other tech for a week or two at a time, sometimes more during that period when the regular guy was on leave. He sat at the desk across from me, so I had the opportunity to chat to him some mornings in the office and in the tea room.
As far as the last question: why do you ask?
ps: I used to look forward to reading GROK when it came out. It was always far superior to the Pelican.
