⚠️ Major global server outages are hitting hard, per this ThousandEyes map! 🌍 Over 900 reported on the US East Coast. Intriguing to see China & Russia relatively unaffected—likely due to greater reliance on domestic cloud infrastructure instead of global services like AWS. #InternetOutage #AWSDown

Brereton was an active ADF reservist consulting 11 times after claiming he'd resigned. This gave him access to classified info while his NACC remit covered breaches by ex-reservist friends (Campbell/Reynolds). He misled Parliament (via his CEO).
The conflict is unmanageable. Brereton must resign.

Brereton failed. Community expectations unmet. Resignation necessary. No future in judiciary. Cannot manage conflicts or deliver reasonable outcomes. #auspol
I wish I was making this up, but the boss of the National Anti-Corruption Commission has given a speech where he admits that he acted with "apprehended bias" during the Robodebt non-investigation. As Bernard Keane and many others argue, Brereton has to resign www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/18/p...
Discredited Brereton should stop whingeing and resign from the NACC
The National Anti-Corruption Commission head devoted a major speech to explaining why he shouldn't resign. It perfectly demonstrated why he should.
