Well, the coalition has, Senator Hanson-Young. We have $40 million penalties right here on the table. You can agree to this now and quite literally put the corporations' money where your mouth is, or you can hide behind the secret deal that you've stitched up with Labor.

But the real issue here is the Albanese Labor government and their running away from transparency. Today this place will vote on a Senate inquiry into the September Optus outage, and we will examine all facets of not just this outage but the triple 0 network. The six-monthly reports required in this bill, if not made more frequent, at the very least should be published and tabled in parliament. Public safety and the accountability of telcos should not be sold out. Lives were lost. Our triple 0 network appears to be broken under this government, and the government doesn't seem to care. It's now over to the Greens. Will you cut another deal with the government, or will you support the stronger penalties that you wanted? The coalition will not stop until we have confidence the triple 0 network is safeguarded and we have full transparency and accountability in the system. Minister, last night you confirmed the government will require telcos to have a public register of triple 0 outages. On what website will this public register be?
