  @JohnnyinternetI @WestCoastEagles AFL had nothing to do with Optus build. Such a stupid comment.

  Halftime at Optus. That second quarter was, despite the inaccurate set shots, actually a lot better than the first. But we're still down by 7 points, so it's time for the Lions to regroup and go again in the third term. Hopefully the Eagles will finally lose their legs by then. #AFLEaglesLions

  One Telstra glitch this morning and half the country stopped working. Some clocks fell out of sync across a few network nodes at 4:30am and that was enough to ground every regional train in Victoria, suspend lines in NSW, knock out payments for small businesses, stop freight, and some 000 calls weren’t getting through. Boost, Aldi Mobile and Belong all run on Telstra’s network so their customers went down too. 25 million services are on this network. They don’t know the root cause yet. Optus went down for 14 hours last year and 2 people died when emergency calls couldn’t connect, now it’s Telstra’s turn. This is the infrastructure they want your ID, your payments and your entire life running through.

  You will hear this more and more... Australia needs another mobile network operator, this will head into a colesworth situation and everyone will suffer.... Wholesaling isn't an option anymore because Telstra and Optus game the system Mark my words, Telop

  @BinManIan Even if we were to propose the oval stadiums, the AFL is too greedy and has too much influence, they'll never allow the use of the MCG, Adelaide Oval and Optus Stadium for a month

  @heidimur This isn’t just about Telstra. We saw similar issues with Optus. If our emergency communications and critical infrastructure are meant to be resilient, why do single network outages continue to have such widespread impacts? It’s time to review whether our redundancy is truly independent, or whether we’re relying on backups that share the same points of failure.

  @EVERALDATLARGE Agree Everald. Yes there was a system fault, and yes 000 Failed. And Yes after the Optus problems the Labor Minister for Communication put in place to hopefully fix the problem. Calling for government to leave is a bridge too far. It will take time to fix. It’s not down every day
