It's not all bad news. wattclarity.com.au/2017/03/lets-talk-about-fcas/ has some information about the situation, and links to reports about the outage. Sounds like they're reacting appropriately by enlisting more power stations (even wind farms!) to provide frequency control ancillary services, and not just by adding a big battery.
