“I think the state government has a role to put pressure on federal government colleagues, as they have done in many issues recently.
“I mean, for me, this is an unidentified situation that causes three people to lose their lives in South Australia and WA.”
The failure on Thursday influenced approximately 600 optus customers in South Australia, Northern Region and Western Australia after the network upgrade, and a 68 -year -old woman and a Western Australian death in South Australia left a Western Australian death.
Southern Australian police confirmed that the deceased contained an eight -week child, but that the WA police have not yet published the details of WA death.
“Yesterday, Optus raised a network, and a technical failure affected the triple zero call,” Optus CEO Stephen Rue said on Friday. He said.
“This resulted in a series of unsuccessful three -failed calls in South Australia, Northern region and Western Australia.”
Wa Premier Roger Cook was on an plane to China when the news about the incident broke on Friday afternoon.
