    @wilmsfront @user26194736 That is increasingly difficult and there are any number of organisations that have no possibility whatsoever of reverting to pencil and paper in an emergency. But this strikes me as a more basic error. That said, someone may have signed off on this as an acceptable risk. I can't say whether or not that was the right call but if it was, then expecting Telstra to own it is a bit unfair.

    @Lisa9Sophia Trying to explain to my 92 year old father that Telstra is still down in SA - NOT EASY! Giving good warning to #Malinauskus & #Boyer that if there is ongoing issues from this ..................

    @_benny4 It’s ******* laughable. Dear Leader putting out press releases demanding Telstra pay compensation. How about get stuffed Jacinta. You’ve neglected the infrastructure for years but sure, let’s blame someone else. ******* this government needs to go.

    @MichaelJacko70 @jmil400 Telstra is a private company. If it failed to adequately follow the rules and ensure operational integrity; shareholders need to fix it. If there are failings in legislation, gov't can fix. No matter Lib or Labor, focus must be on Telstra. Shadow minister shown she is a idiot.

    @Devodavo2 @marxdeane Telstra would only know what their Indian network management tell them. SFA till the problem smothered. Obviously someone ****** up in Bangalore.

  • Battysgambit
    Daz (@Battysgambit) reported

    @JacintaAllanMP For less than $2 billion you could build your own network and manage your own risk rather than outsourcing it to Australian Rail Track Corporation (ie Federal Gov) who contracted Telstra in 2015 to deliver communications…. 11 Years ago! Clearly a failure of Governance.

    FlyingDropBear - Twatter - full of bots. (@FlyingDropBear) reported

    @Qldaah Maybe if Telstra hadn't spent 20 years letting the network fall into ruin, this wouldn't be happening. Our old pit was held together with plastic bags and tape.

    @RonniSalt This is a fake association and nothing to do with the Telstra outage.

    @VoteLewko On my mates farm in the coast they have redundancy (Starlink) & anothet mate who runs ASIC’s infrastructure says they have always had both Telstra & Optus to try & avoid over reliance on a single network. So if farmers & some federal bureaucrats know this why don’t Victoria’s?🤡

    @NoticerNews infosys, same company responsible for the 000 outage last year. Infosys now own all of telstra cloud services and can control the quality of people working there - i.e. low IQ idiots.

    Telstra are lying, the outage was a hack, 24 hrs later and I'm getting messages from Telstra that attempts are being made to sign in to my accounts and they are advising to change passwords

    This Telstra Shelia does not need to spend her time & money on rebuilding trust How about she builds a network that works! What she must do is explain what failed, how & why. And what she has done to ensure it does not happen again.

    @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra There is a lot of ignorance in this feed.., I’m not an expert but I know more than the average Joe Telstra has likely got the best technology and infrastructure and IT. Better IMHO that the other full service telcos These networks are incredibly complex 1/2

  • BoxBender

    Barnaby Joyce’s unfounded speculation about the Telstra outage being caused by malicious Chinese interference was as irresponsible as it was predictable.

    @MlsMichael @MichaelJacko70 Wow, anger issues. Wife basher? Micro d***k? Please, let the world know your problems, let them sort it for you. Are you saying the Telstra outage was completely the fault of government? Not sure how to interpret your anger here as there were no meaningful words.

    @hutcho66 @MiddleMoney @Anneeokeefe Hence when Telstra network came back up for end users the railway systems were still boned.

    Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported

    @Kate3015 You can bet, some Indian software blokes are involved, and I note the Telstra Head Shelia has finally arrived back from Hols, mind you, not that she can or will do anything to fix the issues.

    Here in Australia we’ve got the semi-annual hand wringing over cellular carriers and emergency calls - is it time to ditch SS7 for VoIP/SIP and switch from single operator SIM from Telstra/Optus to multi-operator SIM like SimBase or ThingsMobile?

    @9NewsMelb Another Vic Gov stuff up. Imagine the big bucks the Risk Management team are on and they had no back up plan for Telstra network failure.

    @10NewsAU Poor excuse @Telstra ... It splashed over msm how can she be unaware? Does it look it she couldn't be bother picking her mobile phone and switched off?? If so, retire her and she'll have plenty of time take holidays!!! She's a in responsible role for heaven sake!!!

  • PeterLa42944463
    Peter Latham (@PeterLa42944463) reported

    @PaulBongiorno Pathetic!! It is patently clear that Telstra deliberately created the problem, specifically targeted Bongiorno, is taking extra time to resolve it, and will not advise Paul what to do to restore the service. Pathetic

    @JacintaAllanMP So the Telstra outage affected many states so why was Victoria impacted so badly. Just another state based f#%k up from your government.

    @PaulBongiorno Shocking Telstra outage ! As if we humans built anything that is not fallible! It’s about time people grew up and stop trying to blame something for everything that goes wrong. Christ on a bike ,we have turned into a country of weak pricks!

    Neil fled the country despite footage showing him near Telstra infrastructure. What role did Neil have to play in the outage? The public has a right to know!

    @FranMooMoo If a business or a surface does not have a backup alternative to everything then they are the problem. Thanks have backup lines maybe Telstra with primary Tpg with a backup. Same with 000. Might have the primary line with Telstra and a backup line with Optus or a WhatsApp #
