  @Candour100 @blu_boys @Optus I can confirm this is great! I use it for personal & work I only pay $300 a year upfront per plan so it works out at $25 a month & I never run out of data or calls

  @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.

  @JordanTHFCFFC Freo is in trouble anyway. They need Brisbane in the 1/4 game so they can beat them at Optus. If they play anywhere else Brisbanes big game players will win it so they need to hope someone can knock the lions off

  @AuspiciousTimes @blu_boys @Optus Aldi uses “parts of the Telstra network “ if you read the fine details. Only Boost gives you access to the full Telstra network.

  @Optus Is it possible to have more visibility to how @Optus 'improve' its user experience, as a 10+ year user, I'm feeling the quality of your service and apps is downgrading overtime, and there is no sign of going up.

  @bamberee 🤷 Not unexpected. Optus version worse. BUT the same as then, today. Lynch - no plan. Rebound - no defence. Outlet for hand pass - nil. Even with Marcus to buy half an hour. Selection/positions - bewildering. Reid DE&t/o really poor-noone with him? No coaching response to these

  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.
