My question is to the Minister for Communications. Yesterday, the minister told the House that the government made no error in the triple 0 crisis and that it was 'the fault of Optus and Optus alone'. But, today, when the coalition moved an amendment to double the maximum penalty for a telco company to $20 million per offence, the Albanese government shamefully voted it down. If Optus and Optus alone is to blame, why did Labor vote against the interests of Australians, who just want triple 0 to work when their lives are on the line?
