  Surely if there are no deaths from the Telstra outage it’s just luck. The issue is the ability to call emergency services, not whether that led to a fatality.

  @kwingerei my local telstra mobile tower has been faulty since they "upgraded" it to 4G. every few days it just stops working, phone thinks it has signal but calls cant be made or received. sometimes rebooting phone fixes it. cant even call 000 without takeing out phone sim.

  I worked in IT & communications for about 15yrs. Blame on individuals or departments solves nothing. The issues will still be there. Look at this Telstra outage, talk to technicians, gather the information & use that knowledge to build a better system. #auspol

  Neil fled the country despite footage showing him near Telstra infrastructure. What role did Neil have to play in the outage? The public has a right to know!

  @PaulBongiorno Massive Telstra outage, CEO Vicki Brady overseas holidaying. Is it a coincidence 12mths ago (July 2025); Qantas experienced massive cyberattack & CEO Vanessa Hudson was also holidaying overseas.

  Why is it the USA can communicate with a space ship circulating the moon but Australia has such a hard job communicating with a ******* train just around the corner.. Because of this useless waste of space Anita Wells…. WHY is Australia STILL relying on just a single network for the train networks and 000 and a host of so many essential infrastructure ?? WHY hasn’t our government, especially after the Optus outages just changed the laws to the filthy rich telecommunications companies that they have to combine both networks together for things of major importance to the running of the country ?? 000 and train networks. You want a communications licence… fix the bloody thing so at least BOTH Telstra and Optus are both responsible for the safety of Australia and every Australian.. @AngusTaylorMP @PaulineHansonOz

  Telstra faces outage investigation as expert says legal gaps may let it off- abc The debate when Telstra was privatised was it was a critical piece of Australia’s security, should not be on private hands. This reinforces the case. Thank you Barnaby

  @NuttElecs @PaulBongiorno i remember a few years ago when a small fire in a chatswood telstra office took out their whole national SMS system. telstra loves single point of failure network design, i doubt they have much redundancy at all.

  Ackland what a dud about as sincere and honest as the CEO and your over priced plans @Telstra Investing capital = outsourcing to companies like @VentiaServices and have a look at the state of the Network Sites they get millions to maintain
