  Support the Telstra workers. They will be as frustrated as all of us on this outage. I've been in there. They will have highlighted the problems over the decades. Let's get their input now & build a robust system. #auspol

  @FetchStep It doesn't work that way inside Telstra. I've worked there. There are so many layers of management it's next to impossible for a technician to speak directly to a CEO about a potential problem. That's my point here. Listen to the technicians & build it with more resilience.

  @kanethesaint @OMGTheMess When you find out that the Telstra core network is managed IN INDIA, you have to wonder…

  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.

  @NoticerNews Why are Australians not employed at Telstra’s call centres? We should have a say in that. Especially since more Indians have migrated to Australia in the last 5 years, than all Greeks & Italians over the past 100 years. And Labor is planning to bring in hordes more Indians. India uses nuclear power at their call centres, made from Australian uranium. Why not use our uranium here? Labor is full of idiot traitors! I’m sick of calling Telstra, waiting for ages while being bombarded with ads, then finding that I can’t understand the person at the ‘call centre’. What a stupid shambles.

  @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

  @immyonboard Nah this a pattern of behaviour of announcing corporate entities spending money by decree. We ain't living in a monarchy again. Telstra compensation for network outages? Sure. Telstra compensation for a state-owned entity not having a sufficient backup in place? On gov

  @TimLooker @ABCaustralia I knew our communications system was down the tube with no stopping it when NBN bought the Copper Wire Network from Telstra and start decommissioning it, we should have had our Copper Network (which served us well) continue to do so along side Fibre etc.

  @JacintaAllanMP Telstra send their operations overseas and its a disaster. Allen and Albo import Indians and ruin the country. Allen is essentially a CFMEU criminal. Bad times in Victoria
