  @TruthFairy131 @Qantas are using the smoke screen of AI adoption to make offshoring Australian jobs to India more palatable while trying to portray itself as an Australian company. This **** seems to accelerate whenever there is an incompetent female CEO at the helm, just look at @Telstra

  @SkullSpeedDeal A family member of mine over a decade ago ran a Telstra phone store, it became top 3 in the entire state because of his leadership. Anyway, something happened, and he told me the 2nd in charge (Indian) backstabbed him and took over the main position. A year later, the store had hired a lot of Indians and ended up being the worst store in the state lol

  The rapidly advancing Starlink system should scare any Australian Telco. I hope the Telstra monopoly on the market gets broken up to the point that they're forced to lower prices. The service we get for Telstra, considering how much we pay is a joke. Any company that moves its operations overseas purely because labour is cheaper deserves to be outcompeted by companies that actually invest in local jobs, innovation, and customer service. If your entire business model relies on cutting wages instead of building a better product, don't be surprised when someone with better technology comes along and makes you irrelevant. Consumers shouldn't be expected to pay premium prices for declining service while executives celebrate another cost cutting exercise.

  @goodfoodgal It was all about the money/share prices and to test our compliance. We passed with flying colours (most of us) We now add the national telstra emergency alert to QR codes, cameras etc and then all we need is a social score system. “ none shall buy or sell except with the mark”

  What's happening in the land down under 1. AusAlert passed the test. That’s not the same as passing the public. Millions of phones lit up during the national AusAlert test. Others got nothing. Older phones missed it. Landlines missed it. Queensland has already said it’s not signing up yet. The government still called it a success. That’s the problem with big national systems. They can work at scale and still fail the people who need them most. An emergency alert isn’t a marketing email. “Most people received it” isn’t the standard. The standard is whether it reaches the person in a flood zone, bushfire path, or cyclone area, including people with old devices, poor coverage, disabilities, or no smartphone at all. 2. Origin’s breach has moved from “what was stolen?” to “what was agreed?” Origin has confirmed data from about 900,000 current and former customers was taken. Now the alleged hacker says the matter has been privately settled and the data won’t be released. That leaves one very obvious question: was a ransom paid? Companies hate talking about this because there are no good options. Paying doesn’t guarantee deletion. Not paying can mean customer data gets dumped online. And either way, the people whose details were stolen have no say in the negotiation. The breach is the first failure. The weeks of uncertainty afterwards are the second. 3. A Telstra outage stopped trains. It shouldn’t have. A telecoms outage took out trains because the switch to the Telstra mobile network was poorly managed. This is what people mean when they talk about critical infrastructure. A train network shouldn’t depend on one fragile link behaving perfectly. The backup needs to be real. Tested. Able to fail over without someone discovering in the middle of an outage that the contingency plan was mostly a PDF and good intentions. Australia is wiring more of daily life into connected systems. Reliability is no longer an IT metric. It’s whether people can get home.

  @BenCarrollMP Fuel crisis Ben!!!! What are you doing to alleviate the rising costs? You’ve announced nothing in this area. Also fix the VLine & Metro issues. We’ve heard zero post the Telstra outage. ZERO FFS!!!

  @LmDread @tarkov Telstra appears to have stabilised for Sydney. Which servers are you having issues with, and which ISP are you with?

  @DHughesy Aaron’s post is pure projection dressed up as wit. Dave Hughes—a comedian—got some Future Fund details wrong in a short clip (confusing it with debt, implying it was spent on GFC stimulus). Aaron then spent weeks delivering multi-thousand-word “corrections,” only to pivot, when Dave pointed out the Fund’s growth came almost entirely from Howard/Costello’s $60-64 billion seed (no further public contributions to the core fund after early Rudd), into the classic Labor-adjacent playbook: invent a payday conspiracy and declare victory. Facts Aaron keeps soft-pedalling: •The Future Fund was created by the Coalition with surplus cash and Telstra proceeds precisely to cover unfunded public-sector super liabilities that sit outside headline net debt. Its growth to ~$270-330 billion (including other managed vehicles) is investment returns, not ongoing Labor largesse. •Net debt added since 2007: Rudd/Gillard ~$190 bn, Coalition governments ~$366 bn (much of it pre-COVID), Albanese so far ~$75 bn. Absolute numbers do not support the “Labor alone ruined everything” narrative, but neither do they support Aaron’s selective framing that treats Coalition debt as somehow less real. •Australia’s GFC stimulus was borrowed, not raided from the Fund, and helped avoid recession—true—but that doesn’t erase the subsequent spending trajectory under both sides. Aaron boasts of criticising Labor on social-media bans, Comcars, Anika Wells, etc., yet his energy is overwhelmingly reserved for policing anyone who questions the post-2007 debt/spending record or the Albanese government’s performance. When those corrections land, the immediate response is “you must be paid by Labor/taxpayer.” That’s not analysis; it’s the standard deflection of someone whose default is to treat fiscal criticism of Labor as illegitimate. Kerry Packer’s line worked because Bond overpaid then collapsed. Here, the only collapse is the repeated refusal to concede that a comedian’s imperfect summary of economic history does not require a full-time unpaid opposition research unit. Knowing things is indeed useful. So is noticing when the fact-checker’s intensity and ad-hominem default look a lot more like advocacy than neutral accounting.
