Any ISP who depends on Telstra's newsfeed is either ignorant of the way USENET works (i.e. the flooding algorithm which allows news servers to feed each other as peers so that articles may travel over multiple paths to a destination) or too poorly connected to make it worthwhile to have redundant newsfeeds. Indeed, even Telstra should have redundancy in their news setup, such that any failure is localised (to one state, for example).
