telstra corporation

I must be missing something here. Lets say I have 1000 shares and the div is 28c. When I receive my div, it's not gonna be 1000 x .28, because the div is paid twice a year, right? So do I get it in 2 instalments, like 1000 x .14 twice a year? So why did I only receive 1000 x .08 ( 8c ) ...

With the LIB's having the power now to sell telstra, what will this do for tls??? do you believe it would be a buy if they sold it off??? What would the advantages and disadvantages??? I will be looking at it as a long term hold. I think giving full power to the share holders and board will...
