Whilst those agencies and businesses do have fault because their DR plans were not adequate, they also likely had paid SLAs with Optus which Optus broke.

The state of IT in Australia is a bit of a joke to be honest and it largely comes down to businesses treating it like an expense that needs to be minimised rather than the cost of actually doing and maintaining business.
