  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.

  @6bretto9 I’m worried hawks won’t go deep in the finals as the first game for us if we stay 4th we have to play Freo at Optus and that sucks

  @Mobbie1996 @VeryBadSCAVR The OCE ping issues are mostly ISP related. The majority should be resolved now except for iPrimus & Optus users in NSW. If you're having issues elsewhere please shoot me a DM on Discord - afraid_au

  @tiny_watermelon @Optus I just realised I didn't get an alert today either, while I was sleeping. Considering I'm a disabled pensioner that's a little concerning. In the days of landline phones, I was on a high-priority service. Maybe it's because I don't have a smartphone ? Goodness knows.

  🔔 Optus 2018 was hands down his best test hundred. That was really tough deck.

  @blu_boys @Optus My email provider put their cost up by 50%. I submitted a complaint to the Ombudsman and Consumer Protection. Best they could suggest is to change providers. Have they even tried changing an email address?
