Where is Gladys Berejiklian? Optus is a big issue for the Ex-Premier's low profile, despite the fact that the Optus faces a serious crisis

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 26, 2022
Gladys Berejiklian has faced a string of crises since turning her back on politics to become a top Optus executive, including the cyber hack that revealed 9.8 million Australians. Since she turned down an invitation to enter federal politics, the telecoms giant named former NSW premier Tony Blair to the newly created position of Managing Director of Enterprise, Business and Institution in February. However, playing politics in Canberra would be a cakewalk compared to the challenge she faces at Optus now, with her having faith in the company at an all-time low. Hacker personal information, including passport and driver license numbers, email and home addresses, dates of birth, and phone numbers of over ten million Australians was revealed in the massive Optus data breach, which was revealed on Thursday. It came as a result of a string of Optus outages, including a big crash in April that left hundreds of thousands of people unable to make calls or use records. Ms Bejiklian leads Optus' ferocious fight against its two key rivals Telstra and TPG are attempting to unite against their Singapore-based rival.
