‘Optus has let Australians down’: Minister slams telco after deaths during Triple Zero outage
The federal communications minister says the telco has serious questions to answer after an eight-week-old boy and two adults died during a 14-hour emergency network outage.
Federal Communications Minister Anika Wells says Optus “let Australians down” after an eight-week-old boy and two adults died during a 14-hour Triple Zero network outage on Thursday.
The criticism comes after South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas revealed that Optus initially told his government the outage lasted only two hours. It is now understood to have lasted about 14 hours.
