Well, we privatised our national carrier, so who else are we going to hold accountable for people being able to call emergency services?

I think you're also failing to understand the concept that Optus don't just get to operate with zero conditions. They hold a license to operate their service, and one of the conditions of that license is providing emergency service access.
