Australia news live: SA police investigating death during Telstra outage; Australia signs major uranium deal with India

South Australian police are investigating a death at a regional hospital that occurred during a Telstra triple-zero (emergency services) outage. The investigation was prompted by claims from Liberal Senator Kerrynne Liddle, who alleged an elderly person died during the outage. Police stated they could not confirm any connection between the death and the outage and were not initially informed of the death. They later contacted the deceased's family after speaking with Senator Liddle's staff. A coroner's report is expected. Meanwhile, Australia has signed a significant uranium deal with India, and there are ongoing discussions about potential military alliances involving New Zealand and Fiji.
