The latest instalment in my series on the Telstra outage: the telco’s rather ‘courageous’ approach to PR. Dive in and tell me what you think: open.substack.com/pub/atechnoleg…
How on earth did they not write that down? Presenting the third instalment of my series on the big Telstra outage, focusing on the telco's change mismanagement and its role in making the relevant kit go on the blink. Dive in: open.substack.com/pub/atechnoleg…

I’ve got to get a word in on the Telstra incident. Presenting the first instalment in a new series of pieces from yours truly for A Techno-Legal Update: open.substack.com/pub/atechnoleg… For what is old is new again. Dive in! cc: @IndusThink, @arekfurt, @UK_Daniel_Card
Pleased to share my first news commentary as a Fellow for the Social Cyber Institute. I look at @asicmedia's May open letter to its regulated population on tackling cyber risks from AI. I welcome that letter as a sign of regulatory sanity amid a lot of hand-waving on AI.
And when you're done with this one, check out the previous instalments of 'Hardcoded', a grim series on Australian telecommunications policy debacles, one after the other. atechnolegalupdate.substack.com/s/hardcoded
Dive in: open.substack.com/pub/atechnoleg… P.S. Bonus points for those who can tell me the episode which the quote below comes from without googling.
The latest in my series on our ongoing emergency camp on functionality fiasco down under. In this edition, I look at Ministerial decision making.
And when you're done with this one, check out the previous instalments in my series: atechnolegalupdate.substack.com/s/hardcoded
This time, we're looking at the, at best, minimal oversight of telcos' compliance with their obligations to block phones that they identify as 000/112-incapable. And what it all means from antitrust and community welfare standpoints. Dive in: open.substack.com/pub/atechnoleg…
And when you're done with this one, check out the previous instalments in my series: atechnolegalupdate.substack.com/s/hardcoded
As alluded to in the Shakespearean quote, I ponder where on earth the @acmadotgov has been as the regulator of all emergency call services in Australia. Dive in: open.substack.com/pub/atechnoleg…
Possums, with the blessings of Maa Saraswati, my chapter in a fabulous edited volume on securing democracies in the digital age has just been published.
Have a read, possums, and give me your takes! cambridge.org/core/books/sec…
And check out the other pieces from yours truly for Hardcoded: atechnolegalupdate.substack.com/s/hardcoded
In this edition, as alluded to in the quote from Macbeth, I look at the question of telcos, OEMs and the ACMA having the right information about the actual capabilities of phones pinging Australian cell towers to call emergency services. Dive in: open.substack.com/pub/atechnoleg…
The latest in 'Hardcoded', my series on the emergency camp on functionality fiasco down under, with a focus on 71 dud Samsung models.
