## Resource

Telstra’s leadership is facing mounting pressure after a nationwide outage crippled services, disrupted transport, and sparked fears of fatalities — including a possible link to a death in South Australia now under police investigation. Former deputy PM Wayne Swan demands financial penalties for executives, while the Communications Minister insists the public deserves better. Though Telstra says the main issue was fixed by Wednesday, emergency call failures lingered until Thursday. Welfare checks found no major harm, but the government has made it clear Telstra’s performance fell far short — and the fallout could reshape the telecom giant’s future.
