The #LNP & #Greens need to hire the deputy Chancellor of the UTS for the ability to say bugger all while sounding reasonable. #auspol

Why can’t we have nice things, too, instead of more spread of preventable diseases?

Of course #Singtel has no bearing on Optus. They didn't cause the big outage several years ago by pushing an update without knowledge of the locals, reported at the time.
Can we save #AtseCovering all together.

‘A people issue’: Singtel chief blames Optus staff for outages

Communications Minister Anika Wells has taken aim at the embattled telco while the head of Optus’ parent company Singtel has refused to say whether chief Stephen Rue has his backing.

I can't believe Gladys, who I called Gladys the destroyer from when she nearly destroyed our train system, wasn't charged after the ICAC report.
I agree with the #Herald that action is needed #nswpol #Probity apparent #Corruption

Corrupt? No big deal, Gladys. Collect a $200,000-a-year pension as you pass go

While ever Gladys Berejiklian is handed $200,000 a year for life, state MPs should go easy on lecturing the public about budgets and tough fiscal decisions

What's even worse is the #Telstra outage impacting 000 calls isn't all over the news today.
Let's fix this as I'm guessing #Vodafone would be the same.

The Telstra outage came from the following story.

The decision by #Optus to not pay roaming fees was reported during one of the big outages several years ago

Triple Zero system under fire after Optus, Telstra outages

Fresh outages at both Optus and Telstra have disrupted emergency calls in multiple states, leaving thousands of people stranded.

There is a simple fix. Remove the ability for Telcos to charge other Telco's to use their towers .
Or at least fix the price and make it mandatory. This is the least desirable option.

Just needs @albomp.bsky.social to ignore the lobbyists and do something #auspol #Telcos

I hate being right in cases like this. The outages at Optus and now Telstra impacting 000 calls supports my call to remove the bar on automatically roaming to another carriers tower in the case of outage. Allowing Telcos to charge roaming fees was Ilconcieved when #Abbott did it in 2013.

It's always funny when a person likes a post from like... Months and months ago.

Like how did you find that? I forget about that. Did you scroll my page for that long to find it? Are you a digital archeologist?

I came to Brisbane 50+ years ago and it was a large country town with a #peanut chip on it's shoulder
Now it's a vibrant city.

It seems Susan Ley doesn't understand Tariffs either. The 100% tariff will double prices to consumers in the US with zero impact on the price charged..
#CSL may have to drop the price a little bit that's it.
If the carrot ever works out the diff between a tariff and a tax the world is rooted #auspol

"It is deeply concerning that Australian pharmaceutical exporters will be subject to harmful tariff arrangements from 1 October" Ssusssan Ley ssaid.

Donald Trump imposes 100 per cent tariff on pharmaceuticals from October 1

I think you meant "pretends strength".

Andrew Hastie performs strength to attract insecure, uneducated men who fear care. Toxic masculinity loves control, not complexity. No grief, no growth just noise.

Neither of these statements are supported by logic.
Some young men are becoming more illogical because of #feminism . The demagoguery and #propoganda of the far right has nothing to do with it.
And again some young women may decide that men acting like #dicks is a good reason to be feminists.

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.
