Shadow minister defends senator's non-emergency triple-zero calls as "doing her job"

Sarah Henderson rang triple zero during Wednesday's Telstra outage to test system integrity. Angus Taylor defended the calls as proper oversight. But placing non-emergency triple-zero calls carries criminal penalties under Australian law—a point Taylor sidestepped when asked if Henderson rang more than once. Labor's Tim Ayres called the conduct "utterly irresponsible." The incident highlights the awkward gap between Henderson's stated intent and legal boundaries.
