  @9NewsMelb @ollie_haig people blame telstra. If a customer wants a redundant secondary connection they simply ask and pay for it The real question is why VLine had nothing when a outages shuts everything. I hear Vline turned it off a few years ago. Save money no doubt. Its NOT a telco issue.

  @Butterlegs_ Ye that’s why I got it tbh, thinking if I ever do my regional trips I’ll cop a basic Telstra just in case and 5 years later well lol. That said I think they’ve expanded their network bc I was down in new norcia and a few other ruralish places and my cover never dropped so perhaps

  @MikeShe11208366 @PaulBongiorno The Libs helped privatise Telstra decades ago — true. But Albanese’s Labor government has been in power since 2022 and still contracts Telstra to run Triple Zero, the federal emergency call service. That’s why ACMA and the Triple Zero Custodian are investigating right now, and why Labor can fine them up to $30 million. This isn’t ancient history or “Libs blame-shifting.” It’s a 2026 software bug under Labor’s watch that wrecked 600+ Triple Zero calls, halted V/Line trains, triggered hundreds of welfare checks, and may have killed someone. Your “hypocritical” line is pure deflection. Stop excusing your government’s failure to enforce oversight on critical infrastructure. Classic Labor puppet cop-out.

  @caracal_fandom A privatised Telstra didnt fail to build broadband, Sol Trujilio went to John Howard and asked if he could build the network in exchange for having a monopoly and Howard couldn't or wpuldn't approve it.

  🚨 Labor Government Says It’s Time for Telstra to ‘Face the Music’ for Not Putting Australians First Communications Minister Anika Wells said the Labor government will hold Telstra to account following a network outage that she said had made the last few days “really difficult for many Australians.” She said Telstra must demonstrate it is reliable and puts Australians first. Critics have argued the Labor government is also responsible for the disruptions to Australian's lives as a result of the network outage.

  @AlastairClimate @PaulBongiorno Telstra (not Tesla, genius) was privatised by Howard, but Albanese’s Labor government directly contracts Telstra as the Emergency Call Person for Triple Zero. That’s why ACMA and the new Triple Zero Custodian are investigating, and why Labor can slap them with up to $30 million in fines. This wasn’t some 1990s relic. A software defect triggered a nationwide meltdown on 8 July 2026: 600+ Triple Zero calls failed, V/Line trains halted, payments and services crashed, hundreds needed welfare checks, and police are investigating a death potentially linked to it. Telstra itself admitted a secondary Triple Zero fault the next day. Your desperate “privatised decades ago, not our problem” line is pure hack deflection. The federal government has statutory oversight, regulatory power, and contractual responsibility for critical emergency infrastructure right now under Labor. Stop peddling ABC-grade spin for a clapped-out regime that can’t even keep Triple Zero working. Crawl back to your echo chamber.

  One software defect took down mobile calls, regional trains, freight and EFTPOS for a day. 333 welfare checks over failed Triple Zero calls. Telstra will fix its process, the harder question is national: how much of our critical infrastructure hangs on single points of failure? JM #Telstra

  @SkyNewsAust Ah…yes…another load of Sky News drivel - as even the half-wit Senator Kerrynne Liddle has now apologised for posting a falsehood on social media attributing a death of an individual in South Australia to the Telstra outage.
