The Noisy Elephant (@TheNoisyTrunk) reportedWhy are you fuckwits so dim? @eddys199 Australia was NOT debt-free in 2006. The Commonwealth had NET debt after selling our gold and major assets like Telstra. Australia still had significant state debt. The trouble with you morons is you read a headline, dive into a rabbit hole that even rabbits won't go in and come out all covered in old mouldy ****. Major contributors included: →Selling public assets (privatisations), most notably the government's remaining stake in Telstra, which raised tens of billions of dollars. →Strong economic growth during the mining boom, which boosted tax revenues. →A long period without major recessions or global crises until the GFC. Pauline Hanson is looking for a house 'friend' - you should apply.

Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported@MattSmith_567 the worst era without doubt was the early 2000s - first there was Stadium Australia (now Accor) and Aussie Stadium (now Allianz) Then of course there was Telstra Stadium (also now Accor) and Telstra Dome (now Marvel)

Spiro Arkoudis (@SpiroArkoudis) reported@_maxantonov I used my Pixel to tether my 5G internet to my Mac and that finally loaded up LinkedIn on my browser but it's still flakey...I'm reading Azure Telstra issues in the mix

Brian Emmitt (@emmitt_brian) reported@Pivotonian1838 @Telstra @News24Aust Imagine being that **** at your job and getting paid $6 million.

Josh (@joshatticus) reported@immyonboard It was a complete failure. It is not in a good enough state to be released. Requiring iOS 26.4 or later is absolutely not acceptable. The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though

Atton (@itsatton) reported**** Telstra man

Uptimus (@UptimusApp) reportedAug 06, 2026 at 01:45 UTC: Uptimus is currently monitoring Telstra stability. Reports have returned to normal levels, and we are verifying system performance before resolving.

BexThreads (@BexThreads) reported@Old_SchoolEddie yep can't wait Telstra are bleeding us dry in Australia for **** coverage and dropouts

Nate Svoboda (@gr8tsworld) reported@Starlink @Telstra The real breakthrough is turning “no signal” from a dead end into a temporary inconvenience.

Lucy Graham (@montrosegraham) reported@ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.

Humanitarianella (@BecauseImElle) reportedGo digital they said. What that has got us? MyGov, Telstra, Optus hacked. Stolen identities, etc. This isn't even 1% the problem. Why keep pushing something that causes many problems & stress to everyday ppl? Tracing private citizens every move is the objective.

deirdre ritchie (@deirdreritchi10) reported@CaveThunk @Aussie_Dad5 I didn't switch mine off to stop it and yet it didn't come through anyway. Telstra were doing work in the area. Interrupted service
-
Tim (@TimothyJ_23) reported@Telstra Nope just complete loss of 5G. I guess the venue is in East Perth so it's probably that. Any ETA on fix? Seems sporadic
-
Smokey Dawson (@farcanal53) reportedWhats wrong with our economic system is the unpenalised rank hypocrisy when Telstra declares a record profit, its CEO gets a $6 million payrise after the recent triple 0 outage that claimed lives.
-
💧Daren Connor 🇦🇺 (@connor_daren) reportedWith all the massive profits that @Telstra are making, it’s about time they use some to improve their network coverage in areas other than big cities. Rural & regional areas all seem to share the one tower. Some even have to drive a kilometre to get service for a call.
-
Di Downunder (@DFactualists) reportedF'ing @Telstra bill not due sends 50 reminders. I get the worst service & pay good money!!
-
🦋 robertveneziano.bsky.social (@robertveneziano) reported@Telstra What about RCS support on iOS?
-
immyonboard (@immyonboard) reportedtelstra wifi network has went down for the 11th time in the past hour. it’s time to cut my losses, stop sucking up to a genuinely dogshit support service and move providers 💫 any recommendations? @Telstra who do i switch to?
-
Rohanc (@rohancct) reportedForget the Telstra outage, there should be a senate investigation into AFL Tables being down for hours.

Josh (@joshatticus) reported@Netherby1866 @NikkiGemmell The government is stupid and didn't force the carriers to push the carrier bundles to older iPhones, so the ********* at Vodafail, Floptus and Telstra only pushed it to iOS 26.4 and later! Android devices got it fine though
-
Kråke (@Kroke14) reported@7NewsSydney Great now she'll offshore even more Telstra workers under the guise of AI adoption so she can recoup some money for herself. Worst Telstra CEO ever..
-
Alex Eckermann (@alexeckermann) reported@Telstra what am I supposed to do if I have been unable to redeem/use Telstra Plus points for two years? Customer Support, a complaint case, and the then head of Telstra Plus (G. Vella) all unable to help or fix. I just want to use my points…
-
Anna Basic (@AnnaBasic2) reported@RoadknightThe Yes but no even text message ping let alone some type of alarm they where carrying on about. My personal I pad and my work I pad both with cellular connections with Telstra never received a text at all or picked up on my phone receiving the message but no alarm. My Fitbit that gets all my texts didn’t get the text.

Big Dazz (@DBureges) reported@AFL @Telstra Did they just breed another Heeney wtf
-
Kel So (@KelSoOz) reported@DHughesy And how did they get debt down? Asset Sales. Sold off Telstra. Sold off the Commonwealth Bank. Sold off Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra Airports. Sold off Australian National Railway Assets. Not to mention the the two thirds of our gold reserves they sold.
-
Jacqui 🇦🇺🌴🌺🌴🌸 (@jaxsunsurf) reported@Gizmologist_ Funny how telco’s never had this problem before wouldn’t surprise me if Telstra orchestrated Optus outage to knock them out of the market like Qantas did to Rex blocking airports We’ve had polair lately at night doing thermal mapping of the area fly round almost 2hrs each time

Top Stock Alerts (@TopStockAlerts1) reportedCiti lowered its price target for Telstra Group to A$5.25 from A$5.50, a 5% cut, following a modest reduction in its earnings forecasts. The broker maintained its Neutral rating, saying the Australian telecom operator remains on track to achieve its FY2027 targets and longer-term FY2030 objectives. Telstra announced a A$1 billion share buyback and reported a marginal increase in annual profit on Thursday. Citi expects mobile service revenue growth to accelerate to around 5% in FY2027, supported by higher average revenue per postpaid user. The broker also sees potential earnings upside from stronger cost discipline, although postpaid subscriber numbers continue to decline. Citi reduced its FY2027 post-lease EBITDA forecast by up to 1% and basic net profit estimates by up to 2%. Despite the revisions, the firm continues to view Telstra's operating outlook as broadly consistent with management's targets. $C
