So @Qantas increases available Rewards seats. After 10 attempts on a flight booking, the site crashes at the point of payment. Just like last February. Reason: Q didn't fix server capacity in the 8 months since the last announcement. 3 different browsers!

@JimmyBarnes You inspired us all through Covid, as did Mahalia in the Re-opening. Go well Jimmy - the love of all Australia is reaching out.

@GOPChairwoman And Trump appointing only right wing Supreme Court judges, but preventing the appointment of judges under Democrat presidents isn’t insidious weaponising? When on earth will you GOP dinosaurs wake up to yourselves?

@SenatorWong @AusAmbVN @dfat So proud of our Foreign Minister, @SenatorWong , retelling the story of who most Australians are, not the rearguard group we’ve been represented by for the last decade. Thank you Penny + all your team. Asia is the future. Our multicultural nation can play its part in tomorrow.

Can’t help being ashamed of Sydney’s Sunday papers. In the Sunless Herald Ukraine’s first mention is on Page 30 and the Sunday Terriblahblah it’s a staggering Page 91. DO NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THOSE poor people, cos the newspapers have - Shame!

Vital new study by @RockyMtnInst on supply chain oil and gas emissions. Australia’s new government should factor in this learning, especially for coal seam gas. @tanya_plibersek.

@nikcollection @photorumors So, if I understand this correctly Viveza and Silver Efex have no changes and remain as they were? If I only use those the $79.00 upgrade doesn’t change anything? A simple table of changes on a single page by product please. The link is PR fluff to me. Sorry.

@MikeCarlton01 20,000 leagues out of touch!

@NBN_Australia Finally, after five years, a fibre connection to a house previously 1200m from a node which never once delivered the charter minimum legal speed. Today an excellent technician switched my service. Thanks to @StephenJonesMP , member for Whitlam, who intervened.

[Penny Ackery @PennyAckery]

My husband, John, passed away a few days ago. Too young, too soon. He'd made it plain that I should continue to run in this election as a Community Independent and push for greater integrity and compassion. Thanks to my supporters. We will go on❤️

For umpteenth time @Telstra NBN internet fails to work. Years of promise of FTTC failed to materialise. Fibre installed in street months ago. When the heck are U actually going to connect us? Can’t even contact Tech support, 1800 no. makes appointment then cancels multiple times

[John Swainston @ozjohns]

@adamnorthphoto @Nikon_Australia @adamnorthphoto Yes not very long lived. Based on the science that Blue and yellow had the highest visual acuity response, but vertical and long horizontal weakened it’s overall strength. 1988 to 1998 is my recollection.

[John Swainston @ozjohns]

@Telstra Thanks- a delightful lady called and listened patiently. THANK YOU. In complete contrast to yesterday’s absolutely dreadful waste of 4 hours. Sorry but first line support needs significant retraining. I lost $740 of billable consulting time and got nowhere. We will see soon!

[John Swainston @ozjohns]

Update with my @Telstra saga. Spent >4 hours today with 4 different support people. Nothing resolved. 'That's best we can do; you are online, it's either NBN or your equipment -all Telstra! But I do have a case no. Their social watchers all trying to get me offline. No chance.

[John Swainston @ozjohns]

@Telstra kaitlyn @Telstra Neither appointment kept. 4 weeks now of non existent 4G +slow NBN. If you had as many technicians as u have social media watchers maybe we’d get some solutions. Do I call for a 3rd time and wait yet another week for what, a 3rd no show???

[John Swainston @ozjohns]

So @Telstra, two appointments to fix internet service, neither of them kept. Modem reverted multiple times to your 4G service in Southern Highlands. Guess what? General 4G outage across the district. Currently have NBN but slow. How about ACTION !

[John Swainston @ozjohns]

@Telstra I have sent a Direct Message response to @Telstra .

[John Swainston @ozjohns]

Keep getting text messages stating @Telstra is upgrading its network in Bowral and Moss Vale. Have never achieved better than 2 bars anywhere in either venue in 6 years even under a tower. Just do it Telstra.
