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!

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!

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❤️ pennyackery.com.au/

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

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.

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 !

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.

@Telstra U asked for report. After a month of Upgrade work, 4G Reception in Bowral now down to 1 or 2bars at best, when it was 2 occasionally 3 bars. So after all the upgrades for 5G, it turns out, 4G is worse. -. You did not tell us that this was 5G work. And 4G is worse! Wow!

So, just did 2 train rides on Eastern Suburbs Trains, Sydney. Only one mask apart from mine in the whole carriage, none in the other. Even saw someone use the water fountain on the platform. What don’t they get about this pandemic?
2 hrs disconnected calls to @SamsungAU , chatbots that fail, help desk that always has 5 ahead in the queue, progresses to 4 then disconnects, for 2 year old QLED TV that switches on/off auto. with no pic. COVID no excuse. Deplorable support. Net full of similar issues. Help!

So, I am in the middle of Berrima, NSW, pop. 666, find Telstra 4G connection, twice as fast to download + 12 times faster to upload than my Bowral NBN, just 10kms away. 4 years since promise to fix. Get on with it NBN. Also 2x quicker download than Telstra 4G in Bowral.
Big shout out to @CNN for their Election coverage. Viewing from Australia it was outstandingly informative. Great job.
Not fake news !
Donald Trump is a man without character. It’s why I wrote “A Warning”...and it’s why me & my colleagues have spoken out against him (in our own names) for months. It’s time for everyone to step out of the shadows. My statement: milestaylor.medium.com/a-sta…

A public health lecture from Bozo the Clown. The same man who set about dismantling the National Health and Hospitals Network (the biggest reform of the system since medicare) after 2013.Abbott is as constructive on health as he is on climate. abc.net.au/news/2020-09-01/t…

Always wonder why I get sucked in to OS upgrades that promise ‘18 minutes remaining’ after a few secs. Just on two hours and counting: ‘16 minutes remaining’ after 8GB download on my slow NBN.
