You'll be hard to find an Optus employee who will have access to do this, let alone will do it for you. What are you hoping to achieve by tracing the IP? Do you know if it's a static or dynamic IP, or if the person you're trying to trace is using a VPN?

I can see where this is going.

he has traced an ip and found it an optus net block.

thats as far as you can take it publicly.

guessing this person has attacked/hacked their servers.

I used to manage this process for our company.

so if it just attacks/scans you can notify the IP's abuse address with the logs and they will generally disconnect the user.

if they have hacked you, unfortunately you will need to go through a legal chance to subpoena the details.

Emts your pretty much on the ball..I'll give some brief detail.

I own a site and this person must know me in person. And is inpersonating me and writing abusive things and posting my mobile etc.his used the same I.p twice out of the 4 times posting

It's against the privacy act for an ISP employee to provide that information so either way you won't get far without formal legal action. If it's a serious incident then proceed, if it's just a punk impersonating you but not actually hacking in to your personal accounts or systems, then just laugh it off and move on. If the person is smart they wouldn't do anything that would get them in trouble from their own computer/network.... If all you have is an IP address - big deal. That doesn't equal the person you're looking for. I deal with attacks that come from random IP addresses and ASN's around the world and it's just not that simple to trace an IP address to an actual person. Whoever it is could be using someone elses network or computer and you wouldn't know. They could be using free wifi hotspots in the CBD. Good luck with that. But you might get lucky, some people aren't that smart.
