Used bolt cutters to open a chain link fence and crowbared open a door.

But

As the judge said 'In any other context, this would be considered breaking and entering but the provisions under the Act do permit these actions.'

There's is a provision in the Telecommunications Act in Australia which says as a landowner, during an emergency you can not restrict a telecommunications tech access to their equipment. It also says a telecommunications tech can dismantle any obstical preventing access to their equipment.

The definition of emergency is left entirely up to the telecommunications company.
