My question is to the Minister for Communications. Can the minister confirm to the House that neither she nor her office were notified of the catastrophic triple 0 outage, which occurred on 18 September, before the afternoon of 19 September?
Anika Wells Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Sport
Yes; I can confirm we were not notified of the catastrophic outage until late afternoon on Friday 19 September.
