They know the breakers to reset, perhaps it was the RCD, techs are told 
reset it, if it trips right away leave and report it, old exchange, 
probably old shabby wiring, but to take 3 weeks to get a sparky out there 
is completely unacceptable, I'd make some noise, I know you live rural, 
but you must have a local sparky, maybe he/she wasnt available - away or 
sick, if theres no fibre to the exchange which my memory there isn't, 
then they dont have remote reporting, I mean FFS it wouldnt take much for 
code to be whipped up to make sure everything reports, if an exchange 
doesnt within 24hours alert somebody, but, its probably too hard for poor 
injins
