  AusAlert cost ~$130 million to rollout. A 13x increase from the $10m initial budget. Here are the known costs and estimates: $10m Initial Planning Taskforce $60-70m Carrier access tolls (Telstra, Optus, TPG) $30m Security architecture & hardening $20-25m Foreign hardware + offshore managed services $5-10m Public awareness, testing & administration Want to know how each allocation is spent? Too bad. Contractors and government use "Commercial-in-Confidence" clauses to keep specific commercial margins and costs hidden from the public eye. A 1300% blowout with no accountability.

  @KatrinaLarsen Hey, Katrina. We're sorry to hear that your service is currently impacted by an NBN outage. In the instance that your Optus modem that does not facilitate 4G back-up, our teams will look to provide interim support such as the Optus Internet Assistance Kit. This can be posted or collect from your nearest Optus store. If you hold an Optus Prepaid or Postpaid Mobile service, please don't hesitate to send through a Direct Message, and we can look to apply some Mobile Data to support using your Mobile as a Wi-Fi hotspot in the interim. - Dillon

  @jnj_pro Sorry to hear that you're having these ongoing issues with the app and need to log in multiple times. Can you please ensure both the app and your device have been updated to the latest available software? We also recommend enabling biometrics in the My Optus App, so you don't need to keep re-entering codes. Please send us a DM if you are still needing assistance. - Joel

  Further update, Mum was just on the phone with Optus and apparently Optus (an internet provider) isn’t able to call NBN to fix this, they can only text message them. Or at least that’s the line they are spitting out about the network degradations DO YOUR JOB!!!

  @scrowder Are you literally quoting him like he was correct? Like when people like the police or f b I do an investigation or when the people help with an investigation, they don't ask questions to get them to the next question? I feel like your main purposefully optus

  We need the telco to learn #auspol but as an Optus customer .who has seen it before, what happens hear? Zero cash for us, but the Optus bill goes up to cover this pay out to lawyers and a few who could afford them. Same as the mob who are suing Coles. Pays lawyers and a few and we all pay the price in the new prices, not Optus or Coles

  It's not like mainstream media dont know about ANY of this. 👇👇 In September 2017, the federal government announced a $50 million investment over seven years in the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC). The CEO was Rachael Falk. She led the independent review into the Optus and Medibank cyber breaches. She was appointed by the Minister for Home Affairs to the Expert Advisory Board for Australia’s 2023-2030 Cyber Security Strategy. In February 2025, Falk left the CSCRC to become a partner at Ashurst Risk Advisory—a return to the firm where she had worked as a lawyer in 1998. The CSCRC was not just a research centre. It was a revolving door—a place where a connected insider could build a network, then cash in.

  @footyindustryAU Granted for those states. AO and Optus were well executed. That Tassie will cost more than either for a stadium less than half the capacity pisses me off (I'm aware of all the supply side problems). Whilst Brisbane Roar is being fkd around by Suncorp having the busiest schedule.

  @Optus @Optus @OptusNewsRoom when I try to dial out it tells me there is insufficient credit to make a call, when I text the balance check number it shows unlimited calls until the end of the day 31/07/2026 and the current time is midday AEST. Would this be a network issue?
