There’s some sort of mass outage happening. Half the checkouts in Woolies Oakleigh wasn’t working and a constant announcement complex wide alerting us of a technical problem.

The Rush hour on Triple M wasn’t playing and came podcast only and have mentioned banks going down in the CBD and their own equipment wasn’t loading to air on radio.

I wonder what’s going on.

Bugger. Thanks. Just had a look. Got the news on now.

Bunnings online is pretty much down - they wouldn't take my money and i had to press buttons a dozen times to even get it to try.

Vlines whole communication system is dead, so all vline trains are suspended

Edit: Commbanks PayID is dead (BSB and account number still work). UBanks customer service is apparently dead too and are saying it's a good idea to call them another day.

Edit edit: there's apparently a national emergency meeting underway about it, according to the ABC

Edit edit edit: that image took 4 tries to upload
