  @RizviAbul Sale of Telstra wouldn't have made much difference, if its a software issue(may very well have been) then the problem remains wregardless of the owner. Perhaps what you mean is the Government should have held on to the networks the Telcos use.

  A reminder that for the half-yearly fiscal report of 2025/26 Telstra posted $1.2B in profit. For HALF A YEAR. But the best they can do when their national network is crippled for their back-end ****-up is a half hearted shrug and a milquetoast "oopsie" email.

  @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.

  @TerenceMcCart14 Can I use them to call 000 in an emergency when there is a telstra blackout?

  Perhaps Murdoch press should not have been so vocal in its support for the sale of Telstra?

  A nationwide Telstra outage took down Triple-Zero calls, transport and EFTPOS, months after 400+ jobs were shifted to Infosys in India. The CEO on $6.7m was overseas when it hit. The union called it what happens when the bottom line beats critical services. #Telstra #Offshoring

  @Telstra Don't worry, we're used to bad service in this country. You should give Aus Post a go next. They are even worse than you lot.
