How can a security software company execute code across it's clientele that hadn't been thoroughly tested? Airlines? Banks> Hospitals? Media? There are ways to test this that even a middle school nerd knows. It's complete BS.

Sorry, I don't buy it.

Dr Mark Gregory, School of Engineering would agree with you:

There should have been no roll-out to an entire country or to the entire world without testing within CrowdStrike, and also testing on, for example, a company that has agreed to be a test site for that software.

The idea that this update has been rolled out globally and has caused this sort of problem is unthinkable.

Sounds suss. It's either gross incompetence or something nefarious has happened. Either way, there appears to be no regulations in Aus to punish the company, or any of its executives.
