QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms WELLS (Lilley—Minister for Sport and Minister for Communications) (14:28): I thank the member for Mallee for her question. The information that Optus provided to my office on 18 September was that there had been a minor outage, that it had affected 10 calls, that it had been resolved, and, most importantly, that there had been no adverse impacts on any person.

My office sought assurance that ACMA had been informed, ensuring that the regulator was investigating that incident, and ACMA has publicly confirmed that they were informed.
