The AusAlert sound triggered on millions of phones on July 27, but missed others. What happened, and what crazy theories can be put to bed?

Pickr’s editor Leigh Stark joins 4BC Drive with Carla Bignasca to talk about how the AusAlert test fared, and what went wrong for the people and devices who missed out on the alert.
