  @susanmandrews RA seems to be taking quite a unique approach to the women’s rugby program. We have all been through it. Unless it is a significant issue which requires an apology eg Optus/Telstra outages, just put out a holding statement & some spin. RA is lucky not much media interest in rugby

  @Telstra not sure if Boost is still under your remit, but connectivity issues as punishment for not setting up auto-recharge is not a good look.

  Anika Wells’ claim 'the industry must learn from its mistakes' following a damning report into the catastrophic Telstra outage is not good enough.  The collapse of Telstra’s mobile network on 8 July this year caused chaos with payment systems, shut down train networks, and stopped some people calling triple zero. Mobile telecommunications networks are critical infrastructure.  That is why, on the day of the outage, the Coalition called on the government to urgently deliver mobile network reliability standards.  There must be appropriate minimum standards in place governing the reliability, performance, and maintenance of our mobile networks with significant penalties when those standards are breached.  Asking telcos to 'rebuild trust with Australians by ensuring networks do not succumb to preventable failures’ as the minister stated today, is like hitting the telcos with a piece of wet lettuce.  The minister’s silence on the need for a tougher regulatory framework is deafening.

  Aussie @tarkov players using iPrimus or Telstra as an ISP may be experiencing high ping to the Sydney server. No ETA on a fix at this time.

  @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.
