Telstra has issued an official apology following a catastrophic 12-hour meltdown that plunged Australia into communication chaos. The massive disruption cut off millions of mobile and data connections, halted major rail networks, and crucially caused hundreds of emergency Triple Zero calls to fail. Meanwhile, South Australia is on high alert after a second case of the H5 bird flu strain was recorded. With two more suspected cases sent to Victoria for testing, conservationists are rushing to protect endangered sea lions. Plus, police are launching a massive crackdown just two days after videos of teenagers fighting in public parks went viral, sparking an immediate review of boxing and martial arts laws. | *Subscribe and 🔔: http://9Soci.al/KM6e50GjSK9* *Get more breaking news at 9News.com.au: http://9Soci.al/iyCO50GjSK6* FOLLOW 9News Australia ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/9News/ ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/9NewsAUS ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9news/ Join 9News for the latest in news and events that affect you in your local city, as well as news from across Australia and the world. #9News #BreakingNews #NineNewsAustralia #9NewsAU
