  🔴 Telstra knew time-system risk before outage that set network to 2006 Telstra CEO Vicki Brady acknowledged Friday the company was aware of critical risks in its time-keeping systems before Wednesday's five-hour national outage. A software fault reset the time node to November 2006, triggering cascading network failures across mobile, Eftpos, and rail services. "Our network is built with a lot of redundancy put in place, and that will be part of this investigation," Brady said, unable to explain why backup systems failed to prevent the collapse.

  Telstra CEO Vicki Brady has returned to Australia after cutting short an overseas trip to address the company’s nationwide outage. Brady apologised, saying Telstra “let Australians down”, after revealing she was unreachable for hours because the network disruption affected the company’s own phones.

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

  Mean spirited work from @swan_legend and #EliasVisontay #theage implying the @Telstra CEO should never take overseas leave just in case an outage occurs. Her replacement did a decent job fronting up & she's back on Friday. Not exactly a legendary performance Mr Swan #Telstra

  @CecPedersen @Qldaah I'm sure that as the Shadow Communications minister she would have enough access to senior #Telstra staff to confirm if there was a problem Or indeed a simple call to the Minister's office

  TELSTRA OUTAGE III This outage has severe strategic/security implications for Australia. If the whole of Eastern Australia's communications is knocked out by a single malfunction/incident. A major rethink of the configuration of communication infrastructure seems in order.

  @BerryAndBitty @griffonboi @VLine GSM-R or even FRMCS isn't suited for Australia's dense landmass... First of all the latter is essentially 5G which due to its use of higher frequencies essentially means you'll need to duplicate the entire Telstra network (plus more) to achieve anything

  @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra Even if they were told about the possibility of the issue it would take 12-18 months to fix this - that’s how complex this stuff is And as for the CEO being overseas - she’ll be back within 48 hours- that’s the reality of how far away we are from Europe

  PK: If someone has died due to Telstra outage...this is a huge problem for Telstra and for the gov. These ghouls don't give one **** about human life.

  The Albanese Govt is clearly trying to shift full blame to Telstra for the outage - when it's actually both major parties who have set the regulatory frameworks which allows Telstra to operate #auspol
