## Resource

Senator Kerrynne Liddle is defending herself against a wave of political and personal attacks after sharing social media posts about a woman’s death allegedly linked to the Telstra outage — a claim later debunked by police. Liddle insists her intent was to inform the public during a confusing crisis, especially as Telstra’s messaging conflicted with her information. She criticizes the Labor government for turning the tragedy into a political spectacle, calling their response a “pile on” and accusing them of ignoring Telstra’s systemic failures. Despite police confirming no emergency calls were missed and that a neighbor’s phone was used to call for help, Liddle maintains she acted in good faith and with sensitivity to the grieving family. She also condemned the unannounced police visit to her office and expressed frustration at being targeted rather than held accountable for her role in the public conversation. Liddle believes the real issue — fixing Australia’s unreliable telecommunications infrastructure — was sidelined, and that the intense scrutiny distracted from supporting the family and learning from the crisis.
