00:09We've just finished the National Coordination Mechanism meeting this evening, where CrowdStrike

00:15briefed Australian Government, State and Territory and Industry representatives on the technical

00:21incident that's occurring.

00:23CrowdStrike are working on the fix, they've provided technical support to their customers

00:28and over the next hours and days we hope that this incident will self-resolve as technical

00:33responses kick in.

00:35There is no reason to panic, CrowdStrike are on it, it is not a cyber security incident

00:40and we're working as fast as we can to resolve the incident.
