Thanks Stretch,

I'd noticed a handful of local posts (including my own), but nothing else.
I've called Optusnet twice now. The first time, they tried to tell me that
they didn't support newsgroups (what bull ****!) and the second time they
claimed there was nothing wrong (more BS).

Well, it's fixed now.

NNTP is just as much of a service as FTP or HTTP. Any ISP who thinks
otherwise clearly doesn't have a clue.
