Telstra’s Network Outage Possibly Causes Death, Opts for Political Drama Instead
KEY POINTS
- •Telstra reported awareness of a South Australia police investigation following a death amidst network issues on Wednesday.
- •The tragic death occurred at a regional hospital, coinciding with the company’s triple zero emergency call outages.
- •Telstra pledged to help the police while revealing their political focus remains on defeating the Labor government.
In a plot twist nobody wanted, Telstra revealed network hiccups during which a person tragically died at a South Australian regional hospital. The death occurred on a Wednesday, coinciding with triple zero emergency calls facing outages, sparking a police probe. Meanwhile, Telstra's PR folks expressed sympathy for the family and claimed cooperation with South Australia Police. But don’t expect a rescue mission: the company also distracted everyone by bluntly declaring their focus on toppling the Labor government, insisting no coalition or alliance plans exist—just some classic political coast-clear chaos. Priorities, right?

(1 of 3)Only Telstra could let a network outage coincide with a death, then pivot straight to political smack-talk like it’s a side hustle.
When your emergency lines drop calls and you treat it like a political game show, maybe 'service disruption' should be your slogan.
Telstra’s customer support motto: ‘If your emergency’s ignored, at least our political career plans are crystal clear.’
