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) (12:24): Certainly, Senator McGrath, as you would understand, we need to pass this bill to ensure that the Triple Zero Custodian is established in law. The public register of network outages will build on the new requirement to publicly report outages and increase transparency and accountability around outages related to impacts on access to triple 0.

That register will be set up once the bill is passed.
