  @rossivision Optus Stadium is elite but getting in and out of it sucks.

  @mdtlion She sounds more like a Telstra public relations officer, than the Communications Minister. Maybe she’s grifting for a future job with them. I noticed the little dig she made at Optus by mentioning a previous issue they had had in the past, but totally relevant to today’s issues.

  @TonyShepherd4 As the shadow minister for emergency communications it is great she tested the system. It was supposed to switch to another network (e.g. Telstra to Optus) in case of an outage of one of them. That didn't occur and she found a fault there. I expect my elected parliamentarians to test the systems they have a portfolio of. By the way, as soon as Teltra asked her not to test it again, she stopped. Good try there, though, but again, you landed well short of common sense.

  Hey paul...Labor promised they'd get to the bottom of the optus outage.. Any idea why they walked away from the problem and allowed it to happen again.

  @simonbiddle @taipan168 As much as I defend funding government services, the notion that government run IT will be more reliable than Telstra/Optus is just not believable given the various IT issues we see on a constant basis from Centrelink and who can forget the debacle of the last Census

  @7_columns @Andrew_McCallum If you listened to her, the government mandated after the Optus issue, that with emergencies, the people using the network that is down, should be switched to a working network. She said she wanted to test that her phone went to Optus if Telstra didn’t work. It didn’t, and that is important.

  @Kate3015 Long ago I recommended to Optus the reasons they should not consider Huawei, I had a techo team from Huawei walk me through how they would treat the Data Centres and the router installations, they insisted only Huawei techo engineers would install them, it was open to anybody dialing in and accessing, so it was a big no. This smells the same, very much so.

  @HaveeSnowball @JanSummersalt Only way to get customer service from Telstra is go to store or port your number to another company. They use ai bot systems that circle jerk you and waste your time. It's a joke. Same with Optus.
