They are managing weapon of mass destruction. Security must be paranoid there. But it seems there are too many managers and not enough engineers if they use traffic volumes to monitor network heath. And I bet it will be some poor engineer who going to be blamed for the fault. Not faulty procedures created by other people.
Then Albo needs to get the ADF to drone strike sysadmins who block icmp. Make the world great again!
Australia has fairly decent democratic system. If plebs are tired of being blamed then they should stop voting for corporate boot licking politicians.
I’m not joking about “mass destruction”. If adversary take control and bringing down telco of size of Optus will cause massive damage. Strict policies there are for reason.
Australia democracy ends where corp start. There is no democracy inside any corp. Just dictatorship of different level malevolency.
The government needs to exercise Eminent Domain over all critical infrastructure.
The damage of Jeff Kennett and John Howard can be reversed.
