House debates Questions without Notice

My question is to the Minister for Communications. Minister, asked when you and your office were first notified about the triple 0 crisis, you said:

… we were not notified of the catastrophic outage until late afternoon on Friday 19 September.

However, a secret email has revealed the minister's personal office was actually notified 24 hours earlier than what she told the house yesterday. Minister, how can Australians trust triple 0 to work in an emergency when they cannot even trust you to tell the truth in parliament?
