QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Dr WEBSTER (Mallee) (14:28): My question is to the Minister for Communications. A chain of emails revealing the minister's personal office's knowledge of the escalating triple 0 outage crisis on 18 September included an email alerting the minister's office to the fact that 'welfare checks will be made'. Did the minister take any actions to satisfy herself that those welfare and wellbeing checks of those impacted were being conducted—for example, by phoning to apologise to affected people and their families?
