For convenience, this report has translations of certain A$ into US dollars (US$) at an exchange rate as at 30 June 2000 of A$1.00 =US$0.5971. These translations are indicative only and do not mean that the A$ amounts could be converted to US$ at the rate indicated. The table below shows the rates of exchange at the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York: Year ended At period Average High Low 30 June end rate(1) 1996 0.7856 0.7627 0.8026 0.7100 1997 0.7550 0.7814 0.8180 0.7455 1998 0.6208 0.6805 0.7537 0.5867 1999 0.6611 0.6248 0.6712 0.5550 2000 0.5971 0.6238 0.6703 0.5685 (1) The average of the noon buying rates on the last day of each month during the year. Fluctuations in the A$ to US$ exchange rate will affect: • the US$ equivalent of the A$ price of the shares on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Consequently, this is likely to affect the market price of our American depositary shares (ADSs) and interim ADSs in the United States; and • the US$ amounts received by holders of ADSs and interim ADSs on conversion by the depositary of cash dividends paid in A$ on the shares underlying the ADSs and interim ADSs. 2 Telstra Corporation Limited and controlled entities Item 1: Description of Business OverviewItem 1: Description of Business We are Australia’s leading telecommunications and information services company with fiscal 2000 revenue of more than A$19 billion. We are one of Australia’s largest corporations and have one of the best-known brands in the country. We offer a full range of services and compete in all telecommunications markets throughout Australia. Our main activities are to provide: • telephone lines to homes and businesses; • local and long distance telephone calls in Australia and international calls to and from Australia; • mobile telecommunications services; • a comprehensive range of data, internet and on-line services; • wholesale services to other carriers and carriage service providers; • telephone directories (White Pages™ and Yellow Pages®); and • pay television services through an affiliate. Our fixed telephony network extends across Australia and serves virtually all Australian homes and most Australian businesses. It has optical fibre on all major traffic routes and has a fully digital switching capability that allows us to develop and deploy a full range of modern products and services. As well as our basic telephony network, we have a variety of other delivery platforms over which we provide our services, such as: • an integrated services digital network (ISDN); • switched, data, transaction and digital data networks; • a hybrid fibre co-axial cable broadband network that runs past 2.5 million homes; • internet protocol virtual private networks; and • international submarine cables and access to international satellite infrastructure. We are the largest mobile telecommunications provider in Australia, with GSM and CDMA digital networks, covering over 95% of the population and GSM international roaming to 75 countries. Recognising the importance of data services and the internet to the future and their potential to transform the nature of the telecommunications industry, we continuously review our business, operations and networks to assess the changes required to enable us to compete effectively in rapidly growing data markets. We are expanding our range of data products and developing our content-based businesses, such as internet and e-commerce, pay television services and directories. We have established strengths in products such as internet access and electronic directories. We have maintained our position as the largest internet service provider in Australia, with nearly 650,000 internet subscribers at 30 June 2000 and our Australian Yellow Pages® web site is one of the most frequently visited sites in Australia. We have devoted considerable resources over recent years to upgrade and modernise our networks and systems. This programme has increased our flexibility and expanded the range of products and services that we can offer our customers in our traditional telephony markets as well as mobile telecommunications and emerging data and internet markets. However, margin pressures in the traditional areas of the businesses have occurred and are expected to continue during.

(“Vuze”), the undersigned e-mailed the attached material to Aaron Goldberger and Ian Dillner, both legal advisors to Chairman Kevin J. Martin. The material reflects the results of a recent study conducted by Vuze, in which Vuze created and made available to its users a software plug-in that measures the rate at which network communications are being interrupted by reset messages. The Vuze plug-in measures all network interruptions, and cannot differentiate between reset activity occurring in the ordinary course and reset activity that is artificially interposed by a network operator. While Vuze, therefore, has drawn no firm conclusions from its network monitoring study, it believes the results are significant enough to raise them with network operators and commence a dialog regarding their network management practices. Accordingly, Vuze has sent the attached letters to four of the network operators whose rate of reset activity appeared to be higher than that of many others. While Vuze continues to believe that Commission involvement in this Marlene H.
