It is failing to keep up with changing technology and failing to deliver the most basic of essential services. "It is a system that is clearly out of date, that relies on whether someone in an emergency has the right phone in their hand - putting people’s lives at risk. "Sadly, and most worryingly, it’s the most vulnerable who are at the most risk - the elderly and the poorest in our community.
"It’s time for a modern triple zero system, that operates in the public interest, not at the whim of phone companies and big telecommunications corporations."
