Many people woke up this morning without a signal or were unable to reach train stations to catch suspended train services — this was due to a Telstra network outage. In times like these, what does it feel like to be disconnected from the world?


Key Points

  • In the latest update on V/Line regional train services in Victoria, services remain suspended and bus replacements are limited.
  • In Western Australia, WA Police said the Triple Zero service has been affected.
  • Authorities advised people to, where possible, check on family members in vulnerable situations and ensure they can still access support.
