[AusNOG] census issues tonight

[Nick Stallman]

I just saw this: 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/10/australian_prime_minister_says_ibm_used_dud_dos_shield_for_failed_online_census/

That quote from Turnbull would explain the lack of anyone noticing any 
DoS traffic, if they didn't implement any protections at all then anyone 
could have taken them offline.

I wonder if the ABS could sue for negligence in a situation like that.
