[AusNOG] Telstra's Texan Teaser - Tin Foil Stetsun anyone?

[Christopher Pollock]

The tone of that news.com.au article is unsettling, mostly because it can't
decide whether it's being sarcastic or not.  It seems to be both
simultaneously mocking everyone for being concerned about what appears to
be extremely concern-worthy behaviour but then goes on to then treat the
same concerns as legitimate when coming from a politician.

Expert opinions and observations coming from a group like this are going to
be far more accurate and well-founded than those of a politician, and I'm a
little insulted for both the list and MMC that News.com.au are treating
this like the behaviour was not worthy of being investigated; as if we're
all silly for going WHOA HANG ON A SEC WHAT when presented with some
seriously shifty-looking requests.
