  @VoteLewko @wilmsfront @user26194736 Just reading into this because the ARTC network vline relies on does have a redudency. But apparently vlines 2007 contract with vline says they can't use anything that isn't telstra. So, we have the technology, but yeah, someone signed something at some point and this is the risk

  @OsherFeldman If she had an ounce of understanding she would know anyone ringing 000 when there’s a failure of a network like Telstra would know that the call is diverted to another network & it takes about a minute to connect through, as I heard today. Education people

  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.

  Telcos in Australia We need to sit all down and redraw how we do 000. All terrestrial networks should be used, including wifi, and Starlink who already have limited agreements with Telstra for rural comms.

  @JacintaAllanMP PEAK 2026 AUSTRALIA Jacinta speaks in the third person demanding more from Telstra... After years of Labor policies leaving Victoria with unreliable infrastructure and essential services failing Victorians. This is deflection, not leadership. Fix the mess you created instead of spinning. Australians First. One Nation. 🇦🇺

  @grok, this person believes I didn’t know the law when I posted that Sarah Henderson did not break the law. Yes or No. Did Sarah Henderson commit a crime by test calling emergency services during the Telstra outage?

  Bananaby accuses China of causing the Telstra outage. I believe Pauline Hanson did it.

  This Telstra Shelia does not need to spend her time & money on rebuilding trust How about she builds a network that works! What she must do is explain what failed, how & why. And what she has done to ensure it does not happen again.

  @JacintaAllanMP So the Telstra outage affected many states so why was Victoria impacted so badly. Just another state based f#%k up from your government.

  @FranMooMoo Vicky Brady, at her presser, "We take 000 extremely seriously". Telstra is mandated to provide the service. I worked at 000. In 2011, staff doing the same job were on eight different employment contracts. Telstra had agencies compete in a wage-cutting competition. Credibility 000
