10 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

Telstra's CEO, Vicki Brady, expressed deep regret over a recent outage that affected emergency calls in South Australia. The company acknowledged prior knowledge of potential risks associated with its time-keeping systems and is currently investigating why backup protocols failed.
This incident has raised serious concerns, especially as police investigate a possible link between the outage and a death due to failed emergency calls.
Telstra is Australia's largest telecommunications company, and any failure in its services can have widespread implications, especially in emergency situations. The incident has drawn public scrutiny and calls for transparency regarding the company's operational failures and its response strategies.
The admission from Telstra regarding its awareness of the risks associated with its time systems raises significant questions about corporate accountability and crisis management. The impact of such outages on public safety cannot be overstated, particularly when lives may be at stake.
