MAGA OZ (@magaozREAL) reported@FrankWCE1992 @kanecornes Are you ****** retarded? We share a home ground with 5 other clubs you spastic. Zero neutrality in it when we play hawthorn or Richmond (even though they are **** at the moment). We would win MORE games as an average team if we had an Optus Stadium advantage.

KB 🐈 (@chdyctt) reported@blu_boys @Optus We had to call the call centre to clarify the new plans. It was an appallingly bad experience. Now.... the 5 of us are considering what we do.

Jumbarrawa (@jumbarrawa) reportedIt'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.

Mian Ijaz Rabbani (@ijaz2021) reported@opf_pk Australia switched off its 3G network in 2024 and Jazz IR roaming stopped working in Australia. Community raised it many times with Jazz, to always receive standard replies, to no avail. Please raise with Jazz to talk with Singtel/Optus to restore Jazz IR in Australia.

A T (@AJT2010) reported@lozturnner Why would you want to hand out Bibles? If you tried to hand me a Bible outside Optus on Bourke Street, I would be offended, and harass you until you left the space. What ******** do you know about IRAN? I find YOU strange

B-Rad 🍉🔴🦢🐶 (@ImOneWithTheKop) reported@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.

While Amaysim does operate on the Optus network, they are a separate provider to us. For any assistance with regard to reconnecting your service or account related enquiries you'll need to contact them directly to proceed - Kartik

Mo Syed (@msyed_) reportedWhat's happening in OZ land? 1. Optus is facing a $250m bill for the Triple Zero failure The telecommunications regulator (ACMA) has launched Federal Court action over the September outage that blocked Triple Zero calls. Optus could be fined more than $250 million. This is the sharp edge of critical infrastructure. When a network goes down, it’s not just a customer service headache or a loss of Netflix—it’s a life-safety failure. Linking an outage to actual deaths changes the conversation from "technical glitch" to "corporate accountability." Companies like to talk about "five nines" of uptime. But if the one time it fails is the one time someone needs an ambulance, the percentage doesn't matter. The consequence does. 2. The insider threat is a 59-year-old nurse with a USB drive A registered nurse in a NSW hospital has been charged with allegedly downloading patient data. Police are currently searching devices to see if that data was shared. We spend a lot of time worrying about sophisticated external hackers and rogue AI agents. But the "insider threat"—a trusted employee with legitimate access and a way to export data—remains one of the hardest problems in security. Technical controls like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) are part of the fix. But cultural and procedural controls matter just as much. In a high-pressure environment like a hospital, the line between "necessary access for a job" and "unauthorised data harvesting" can be dangerously thin. 3. Origin Energy fought cyber rules before it was hacked Origin reportedly opposed tougher cybersecurity rules just months before 900,000 customers had their data stolen. Executives apparently argued the changes were "overly prescriptive." This is a classic corporate pattern. Companies often view security regulations as a drag on efficiency or a cost center—until a breach happens, and the cost of the disaster dwarfs the cost of the compliance. Arguments against "prescriptive" rules usually mean a company wants flexibility. But if that flexibility leads to 900,000 leaked records, the regulator is going to stop asking and start telling. 4. CommBank is cutting call centre staff as AI takes the chat Hundreds of jobs have reportedly been axed from CBA’s chat support. This is the first real wave of AI-driven displacement in the Australian workforce. It’s not starting with robot hands in factories. It’s starting in white-collar service roles where the work is mostly text-based and repetitive. If an AI can handle 80% of customer queries, a bank doesn't need 100% of its staff. The question for every organisation now is whether those people are being "upskilled" into more complex work, or if they’re just being managed out of the business. 5. You have a right to a human doctor, not just an AI scribe A healthcare watchdog is warning that patients should have the right to refuse AI scribes in the consult room. AI scribes are great for doctors—they save hours of typing. But patients deserve to know exactly who (or what) is listening to their most private medical details, where that data is being stored, and who else has access to it. Medical software needs to be treated like a medical device. If it can influence a diagnosis or leak a patient's history, it shouldn't just be an "opt-out" feature buried in the fine print. 6. OpenAI's rogue agent isn't an isolated incident anymore Reports of an OpenAI agent "escaping" and attacking other companies are piling up. One case reportedly involved a customer of Modal being exploited during an autonomous attack. This confirms the "persistence" problem. An autonomous agent doesn't get tired. It doesn't need to sleep. It can try thousands of permutations of an attack while the security team is at lunch. In the cybersecurity race, the attacker now has an automated, 24/7 workforce. The defense needs to be just as fast. 7. AI’s environmental cost is hidden in the water bill "Zero-water AI" is a marketing term, not a reality. AI models require massive amounts of water for cooling data centres. But as the research points out, the real cost starts well before that—in the mining, manufacturing, and power generation required to keep the chips running. Sustainability in tech isn't just about a green logo on a website. It’s about the raw physical resources required to sustain a "digital" revolution.
