The headline in THE AUSTRALIAN 16 November 2023 is quite clear about 
Singtel 's denial  of any involvement in the recent OPTUS outage:

We're not to blame "

However, on 17 November 2023 the OPTUS CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin told a Senate Inquiry: 

As you can appreciate, we’re dealing with a very complex technical fault here. And what we had tried to explain was that the root cause of the issue was that our Cisco routers hit a failsafe mechanism.

Which meant that each one of them independently shut down … the trigger event that led to that was the upgrade on the Singtel international peering network.

We had put out the statement which then got interpreted by various commentators as being that the root cause was the Singtel upgrade, where the trigger was the Singtel upgrade, but the root cause was the routers. So that is what has been attempted to be clarified.

Singtel  has been contradicted by its OPTUS CEO, Kelly Bayer Rosmarin. Singtel is listed on the SGX , is subject to  continuous disclosure laws, and must now explain its  OPTUS CEO's contradiction.
