No there was no DDoS. Multiple Network Ops groups at the time said they saw no malicious traffic the whole night, either domestically or from international sources. The report calls the DoS an "event" rather than an "attack", carefully worded so that tech journalists would pick up on the wrong thing, but clear that it was not malicious intentional traffic. The DoS was the Australian public attempting to use an online government service.
