  @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

  @PaulBongiorno Shocking Telstra outage ! As if we humans built anything that is not fallible! It’s about time people grew up and stop trying to blame something for everything that goes wrong. Christ on a bike ,we have turned into a country of weak pricks!

  @SaraJade_13 An apology isn’t enough there should be some accountability for this behaviour. The SA police said today her reporting of the death could have been linked to the Telstra outage had “put an unnecessary strain” on the woman’s family.

  @SenatorSeanBell Electricity should never have been privatised like Telstra .They have to make a profit not to provide a service .

  @CecPedersen @Qldaah I'm sure that as the Shadow Communications minister she would have enough access to senior #Telstra staff to confirm if there was a problem Or indeed a simple call to the Minister's office

  Don't take any frustration out on Telstra workers. I've worked there & they'll be as annoyed about this as the rest of Australia. The wider problem is layers of management over decades not listening to workers. Telstra is a great company. Listen to workers & improve. #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.
