Was just in a Westfield, seemed like chaos. Kmart had closed, BIGW had one register only working. Smaller shops had shut.
 
Nine showing blue screens throughout Syd T2 checkin.
Their own newsroom also a sea of blue screens, but still managing to broadcast.
 
Country grinding to a halt it seems! Can’t remember such a widespread IT outage
 
According to a high level email in my workplace, the issue has been resolved by the provider about 435pm, but our business still needs to get its systems back up which now have data issues from being down, estimated rebuild time is 60 mins and a gradual rollout.
 
Currently at Hobart Airport, apparently has impacted Qantas systems as well causing delays. Jetstar with absolutely no movement, have just offered meal vouchers out but can't give any departure estimate. Every Jetstar flight departing from Melbourne now has 6pm departure.

Qantas just announced a ground stop and cancellation of flight to Melbourne.
