Optus Outage Exposes Emergency System Gaps | Australia News

This isn’t the first time — Telstra’s July outage exposed similar vulnerabilities. With safety at stake, the government is ramping up oversight and experts are calling for a complete overhaul of Australia’s telecom laws to keep pace with modern tech. Meanwhile, Optus says systems are restored, but users are urged to keep trying — and stay on the line — if they can’t reach Triple Zero.
