Telecommunications Legislation Amendment (Triple Zero Custodian and Emergency Calling Powers) Bill 2025

Senator GREEN (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Tourism, Assistant Minister for Pacific Island Affairs and Assistant Minister for Northern Australia) (12:22): Senator McGrath, not that I need to give you personal advice about how to engage with your telco, but your carrier would be the holder of this information. We want them to take accountability for this information.

That's why we are, through a determination and a direction from the minister, demanding that this information be public and that the public can see when these outages occur. This is another way that we are keeping them accountable after the terrible and tragic outage that occurred earlier this year.
