  @__free_news__ WTF is the green's doing asking questions to telstra?. Hanson can hardly talk or make sense of what she is being told.

  So where is RCS messaging if emergency technology is important? @Telstra Your CEO just said emerging technology was important at Senate Estimates. It would have allowed more people to message during an outage! @sarahinthesen8 @RossCadell

  @strangerous10 And they pushed back at global roaming as well. Happens as a default in most countries. Would save a lot of problems if Telstra or Optus shared their networks when network problems arose with any communications provider in Australia 🇦🇺 @AlboMP

  @strangerous10 Telstra had a risk assessment signed off by the PM which said mitigations in place to isolate any faults, which were unlikely, & consequences was rated low. This meant the expenditure could be deferred. It was not a technical or a people problem. It was a pass the buck problem.

  '... near the border of New South Wales and the ACT. Mobile black spots cover the area. '... his Telstra landline ... under Priority Assistance for Life-Threatening Medical Conditions — a service that the telco is required to provide under its carrier licence.

  @Michelle71966 SORRY about 'dad' and tech issues. I feel the same (mind you, I'm probably younger than dad), but we weren't brought up with devices. Also, companies take shortcuts to save cash. Updates and safeguards are avoided. In Australia, telco Telstra has failed us. Put lives at risk.

  Breaking: Telstra has admitted in Estimates they were repeatedly warned since 2022 by the software manufacturer that their outage-causing software was out of date inc a reminder early 2026, & Telstra even discovered a “fault” with it themselves in Oct 2025, but still did nothing

  @JonesHowDareYou Took me a while to log in this morning, Jenny, as X were presumably consulting with Telstra on service provision. I’m toasting Spain in the Executive Suite today. Stay rugged up🧣 Wordle 1,857 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🥳

  Very plausible and likely explanation for the Telstra timekeeping issue.
