  @asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

  @disco___cat Just so stupid, every risk and effect of this policy ignored with boomer belligerence. Basically an Optus breach 2.0 waiting to happen. Sad thing is we'll never learn

  @StevoMedia Next we will be playing Essendon Collingwood at Optus Stadium on ANZAC Day. What a stupid idea, the showdown should actually be played as either the curtain raiser or the closing game to Gather Round.

  1. 2001 v Carl (OO) Winless from the first three games, the Crows travelled to a dreary Optus Oval in horrible thunder, lightning and rain desperate for a win. Despite the atrocious conditions, the Crows led by new skipper Mark Ricciuto’s four goals, ground out a heroic win.

  Phone bills are about to bite harder - Optus, Telstra and Vodafone have told customers mobile prices will rise soon, squeezing household budgets across Australia. First, the hikes are being driven by higher network and operating costs, inflation and ongoing 5G investment, and will hit both postpaid accounts and some prepaid users. Second, timing and scale differ by provider - some increases take effect within weeks and could outpace general inflation, so expect clear monthly impacts. Third, consumer protections are limited - check your contract, know your exit rights and review small-business plans. Act now: compare plans, contact your provider for options and escalate to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman or ACCC if you need help. #Telecoms #CostOfLiving #Australia
