An Optus service disruption in New South Wales led to several failures of triple-zero emergency calls. Following these incidents, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley advocated for an independent inquiry into the “entire triple-zero ecosystem.” Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers stated that the government is holding Optus accountable for the recent outages, specifically noting nine failed calls in the Dapto region. Additionally, NSW police reportedly received initial notification of the latest outage when Optus requested welfare checks for individuals in the affected Dapto area.
