Triple Zero should be taken out of hands of major telcos, Senate inquiry recommends
In short:
A long-running Senate inquiry into the Triple Zero emergency call crisis has handed down its final report today.
The inquiry started as a probe into the failings of Optus after its massive network outage in September 2025, but was expanded as more emergency call failures were revealed.
What's next?
Inquiry chair Sarah Hanson-Young says removing control of the Triple Zero system from Telstra should be at the top of the government's to-do list.
