A major Telstra network outage disrupted services across Australia, affecting rail networks, EFTPOS systems, and critically, triple zero emergency calls. Police are conducting welfare checks on 79 people who called triple zero during the outage but remain unaccounted for, after Telstra was unable to contact them. The telecommunications company has blamed broken timers in two data centres in Sydney and Melbourne for the widespread disruption, which lasted several hours before services were restored.
