  @WInsufficientia Telstra may be a private corp, but Albanese’s Labor government literally contracts Telstra to run Triple Zero — the federal emergency call service. That’s why ACMA and the Triple Zero Custodian are investigating right now, and why Labor can hit them with up to $30 million in fines. Your history lesson is sloppy: partial sales started under Hawke/Keating Labor, final tranches under Howard. But that was 20 years ago. Albanese has been “fixing the LNP/PHON mess” since 2022 — and the result under his watch is a software bug that wiped out 600+ Triple Zero calls, stopped trains, triggered hundreds of welfare checks, and may have killed someone. Blaming 1997–2006 ghosts while your government fails to enforce basic oversight on critical infrastructure today is pure deflection. Stop whitewashing another Labor failure, puppet.

  I’m not defending the gov, but it’s not always the gov fault when a gov funded service fails. This is primarily on Telstra (a privatised, formerly government service).

  Telstra outage: The widespread effect of this outage continues to unfold. Even freight trains around the country came to a standstill. It seems that 'too many eggs in one basket' applies here. It showed that in the event of hostilities Aust. could apparently be easy to cripple.

  @Nolongerscot @madwixxy @BarbaraHFlowers Well it sort of is an emergency if it’s not going through & the Minister in charge was rushing back from holidays.I mean let’s apportion blame to the relevant minister here & Telstra who wanted exclusivity. At least we now know we need a back up,as it affected a lot of industries as well as 000. So quite a potentially dangerous situation & thanks for the spelling correction.Silly me.

  @TimLooker @ABCaustralia I used to work in Telcos. Even in the UK, Telstra was considered the gold standard, If you had traffic problems and could re-route calls over Telstra, it was a no-brainer. It should never have been privatized. Just like Qantas!

  @winty1976 @blowingtom2 @Kerrynne_Liddle It's odds on that many Telstra executives face serious questions about the outage. People 'test driving' or other 000 emergency system indiscretions will inevitably attract scrutiny during this period.

  @Telstra My internet was offline for 12 days (unrelated to recent mobile outage). I was repeatedly told by the techs that I would receive a proper refund for the mussed time. You have now only offered $14 and your support chat keeps closing the chats!
