Calls to make 'timely' Telstra service upgrades mandatory after two-week mobile disruption
There are calls for the government to tighten Telstra's obligation to its customers to include "timely and to standard" upgrades of its mobile services after towns were left disconnected for a fortnight. Nationals leader David Littleproud said the government needed to make changes to the Universal Service Obligation (USO). Under the USO, Telstra has an obligation to provide a "standard telephone service" within a reasonable timeframe. "Subsequent to that, we've seen technology shift … mobiles have now taken over. "What we said in the last election is what the Coalition would do … extending that USO to cover the mobile phone infrastructure." More than 13,000 residents in Dalby, on Queensland's Western Downs, had mobile calls, internet and other services including EFTPOS and ATMs disrupted for two weeks this month due to Telstra upgrading a tower. Telstra told the ABC that customers needed to have a backup option available. "We understand people are using the mobile network, that's why we're doing this massive upgrade on the tower in Dalby." Mr Littleproud said the response was "substandard". "We've seen this elsewhere … in St George, and in Goondiwindi, we had outages going well beyond days. That's why the government needs to step in," he said. A spokesperson from the office of Communications Minister Anika Wells told the ABC the government was looking to include mobile coverage in its legislation. "While the Coalition left USO reform to languish, Labor has taken real steps to ensure regional communities aren't forgotten when it comes to mobile coverage." When the ABC asked for additional information, the government sent a statement released in February by then-communications minister Michelle Rowland. It stated the government would consult and introduce legislation this year to cover the mobile network. "Implementation of outdoor SMS and voice will be expected by late 2027, with many Australians likely to obtain access before then," the release said. "Basic mobile data will be considered in the future as technology road maps and capacity considerations develop." Telstra switched off Dalby's mobile services on Monday, June 16 in order to upgrade its base tower to 5G. NBN, satellite, and landline connections were uninterrupted, but locals called it a safety issue, with many businesses and medical staff impacted in the town of about 13,000 people. Mr Littleproud, also the member for Maranoa, said the regional town had been forgotten. Mobile services in Dalby and surrounds were restored after the two-week disruption, but the outage left businesses and residents shaken. "It's a bit of a catch here — we have to rely on Telstra as once you leave town most other providers aren't available," Anna Story from Dalby's Chamber of Commerce said. "They need to change their advice for future outages. "[Saying] 'coverage is likely to be impacted' is a very different thing to no coverage for five days." It was stressful for residents too. "My elderly father-in-law has been in hospital for several weeks in the Scenic Rim and my husband — his power of attorney — has been uncontactable in the case that urgent medical and care decisions need to be made," Tina Burnett said. "My husband works out of town, and he was unable to contact his employer or the other works to coordinate tasks as they had no service on their mobile phones." Ms Burnett said the outage was poorly communicated. "They provided a link to outage details which required me entering my address. When I did that, the website told me that there was no outage in my area," she said.

Pay rise for key election staff amid concerns over upcoming WA local government elections
WA taxpayers have spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars topping up the pay of key state election staff in the wake of the problem-plagued March poll. It comes after the ABC last week revealed the state electoral commission's top ranks had been further depleted ahead of the looming local government elections. The March state election was beset by a range of problems, with reports of long lines at polling places and some running out of ballot papers. Amid the ongoing fallout, Electoral Commissioner Robert Kennedy went on extended leave, with Department of Water and Environmental Regulation deputy director Dennis O'Reilly brought in to act in the role in late May. After his appointment, it's understood Mr O'Reilly reviewed the pay for returning officers, who are appointed to manage the election in each electorate. "It was determined that some tasks and responsibilities were more complex than initially scoped," a spokesperson told the ABC. "All 59 districts in the state were reclassified, and a higher payment fee applied as a result. The total cost of the redetermination was $240,547." In a letter to returning officers seen by the ABC, Mr O'Reilly wrote he understood "the work undertaken by returning officers exceeded initial expectations". "There were responsibilities not adequately scoped by the Western Australian Electoral Commission when determining the remuneration package for each district," he wrote. "As part of the preparations for the 2029 state election, the commission will be reviewing its methodology for determining returning officer payment fees. "Returning officers play a crucial role in the electoral process, and it is important that their contributions are appropriately acknowledged and compensated." Budget papers revealed the election cost $4 million more to execute than had been budgeted. The average cost per elector of running the election also rose significantly from $14.43 for the 2021 election to $23.70 for the 2025 election. An independent inquiry into what went wrong and why the commission decided to outsource much of the election's staffing to a private company recently handed its report to the government. On Tuesday, Premier Roger Cook told parliament the report would be reviewed by the State Solicitor's Office before being released publicly. "I know that some returning officers were concerned that because of some of the issues they faced in their electorate, which are probably to do with some of those issues that the special inquiry is looking into, they probably did more work than they thought they were going to," Electoral Affairs Minister David Michael told parliament when asked about the top-up payments. Last week the ABC revealed that in addition to Mr Kennedy being on extended leave, Deputy Electoral Commissioner Courtney Barron will take leave from the end of this month and is not expected to return, while election operations director Shani Wood has resigned from her role. It means the commission is now without half of the leadership team it had on polling day at the state election. The Road Safety Commission's director of innovation and technology, Rebecca Hamilton, was this week appointed to act as deputy electoral commissioner from next month. The lack of experienced high-level leadership raises concerns about the commission's ability to run local government elections in October. Mr Michael told parliament on Thursday additional staff would be brought in to ensure those elections ran smoothly. "The acting electoral commissioner has arranged for two senior officers from the Australian Electoral Commission to join the election operations team as a chief operating officer and a project manager," he said. "Subject matter experts" from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries would also be brought in to help. Shadow Electoral Affairs Minister Shane Love said it was "deeply concerning" taxpayers had to fork out an extra $250,000 on top of what they already paid to PersolKelly, which is the labour hire company that election staffing was outsourced to. "The minister for electoral affairs confirmed in question time this week that the recent payments were made in response to the stress and dysfunction returning officers endured, an extraordinary admission of just how badly the process failed. "The opposition will be demanding answers during budget estimates this week."
