  Update on the elderly lady’s death in SA not related to the Telstra outage. Police update. 👇 It’s time for the Coalition to sanction Kerrynne Liddle. She must tender her resignation effective immediately. She jumped on social media for a gotcha without all the facts. Shameful.

  @tim_blee The 000 system is antiquated, Telstra gets about $20 million a year from running it. Labor has updated the emergency alert system, which will be tested later this month. Someone should ask Henderson why they didn't do anything to improve 000 tech in their decade of government

  The government’s big idea for fixing telco failures? Slap them with a $7.3 billion spectrum renewal tax — almost double what Telstra considered fair value — then threaten massive fines for triple-zero outages. Gartner analyst Khurram Shazad said it outright: this can do the opposite of strengthening resilience. Telcos are already stuck with stagnating revenue growth. These inflated spectrum fees just crush their margins harder. So they do the obvious thing under pressure. They stop spending on actual redundancy. No secondary backup power systems at base stations. No automated routing failovers. No diverse fibre backhaul paths. Capital expenditure gets deferred instead. The core network becomes brittle. One software glitch or timeserver ****-up and failures cascade into proper disasters. High spectrum costs simply extract the economic surplus from the sector. Networks look faster on paper because of the shiny new bands. In practice they are significantly less resilient when it actually matters. When the next outage hits and the “improved” networks fall over anyway, who gets the blame?

  PROFESSOR RODGERS SPEAKS FOR THE HARD WORKING AUST (@HelpRodger) reported 16 minutes ago

  To all the Telstra bashing fkwits. At any given moment, Telstra’s network is literally handling trillions to tens of trillions of low-level operations and technical events every single second — packet routing, signal processing, authentication, error correction, handovers, and more — across millions of devices, base stations, and core systems. Complex systems this large will fail occasionally. That’s not a defence of Telstra; it’s reality. The real issue is how dependent we’ve become on a single network. Any critical service, business, or individual relying on it should have a dual-network backup (another provider, satellite, or dedicated failover) ready to kick in. Blaming Telstra alone misses the point — build resilience into what matters. Don't blame Telstra,blame yourself for not preparing for the possibility of failure.

  @GunjapartyOz @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra Y2k was fixed about 15 years before y2k. This was a simple time mismatch error and can happen on almost any machine regardless of the level of infrastructure or operating system. Try it yourself, set your system clock to some time in the past and try to update, then watch it fail

  @Antony_Clements @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra Did you fix it yourself did you? Amazing. I’ll let you explain your solution to the Telstra system programmers.

  @NZ_Trav Poor blokes were running on near empty batteries by the end of it, and struggling with video lagging courtesy of the Telstra outage, but it was still good.

  I can't help wondering what the connection to the Telstra outage was as well.

  @RizviAbul Sale of Telstra wouldn't have made much difference, if its a software issue(may very well have been) then the problem remains wregardless of the owner. Perhaps what you mean is the Government should have held on to the networks the Telcos use.
