Emergency Mobile Alert - this Sunday!
A nationwide test of the Emergency Mobile Alert system is happening on Sunday 25 November between 6pm and 7pm.
It doesn’t matter which network you are on. Any capable phone in the target area during the broadcast period should receive the alert
Emergency Mobile Alerts are not meant to replace other emergency alerts, or the need to take action after natural warnings.
You still need to be prepared for an emergency and you should not wait to get an alert before you act. If you feel your life is in danger, don’t wait for an official warning. Take immediate action.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
