  Telstra outage and emergency 000 calls. Just trying to remember how we managed in the dark old days when all we had was a dial-up telephone plugged into a wall

  @ruseethruable @MikeCarlton01 @Telstra out here landlines fail the moment the power goes out, no battery or generator backup at our exchange. mobile has 4 hour battery backup. our grid provider, essential energy, likes to schedule regular 8 hour outages for maintenance.

  @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

  @OsherFeldman Telstra informed the public about the outage and not what to do. One cannot defend the indefensible. Has she even had the decency to apologise for the indirect death of that elderly woman?

  @stationmum101 @Telstra Doubt it. They are so self absorbed, it would never cross their tiny little minds.

  @JimThom90458694 Barnaby Joyce stated the Chinese ballistic rocket launch had an effect on the telstra outage. Really? I am a Principal Technical Officer, ex telstra I am 100% certain the two events have NO CONNECTION. Barnaby Joyce, recruit another mass murderer to advise you about electronics

  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

  One software glitch. Half a country reminded how fragile “modern life” really is. Australia’s Telstra outage didn’t just annoy mobile users. It hit emergency calls, regional trains, payment terminals, taxis, cafes, courts, and businesses. Basically: one telco hiccup turned into a national stress test. The scary part? Telstra says it wasn’t a cyberattack. It was a software/time-sync defect. That means the real villain wasn’t a hacker in a hoodie. It was boring infrastructure dependency — the kind nobody thinks about until trains stop, cards fail, and emergency calls need welfare checks. This is the future risk no one markets properly: AI is getting smarter. Cities are getting “connected.” Payments are going cashless. Transport is becoming software-driven. But when the invisible plumbing breaks, everything suddenly looks very offline. The takeaway is simple: Critical infrastructure can’t run on “trust us, we have backups.” It needs boring, expensive, battle-tested redundancy. Because the next outage won’t just be inconvenient. It could be dangerous.

  @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
