Senate votes to split Labor’s industrial relations bill, Qantas, Virgin and Crown paid no corporate tax in 2021-22 and the Optus outage fallout continues.
Optus is offering aggrieved customers a free data top-up after Wednesday’s unprecedented outage, but the industry watchdog says she is prepared to force the telecommunications company into large compensation payments if it refuses to settle customers’ claims.
The company says it will give customers on its post-paid mobile plans 200 gigabytes of bonus data and prepaid customers unlimited data on weekends until the end of the year, in what managing director Matt Williams claimed was more meaningful to customers than the value of a day’s outage, which he said was about “$1 per day in terms of the typical plans our customers buy”.
