MS Wells acknowledged that interruptions may affect consumer confidence on Optus.

“As a responsibility for the Australians who chose us as a government, I thought about what we could do to recover the trust of one of our great felcos, because this is a visceral fear, the worst nightmare, the most help, calls that the call does not pass the most help.”

“What do the Australians need and I think they trust their Telco.

“What I want to do from Optus is to find a way to have an external account of their systems so that they can have confidence from external investigation and advice, rather than hearing that Australians would be good again than Optus.
