Sydney ATC system outage?

Anyone else caught at SYD atm? I’m on VA874 to MEL, should have left 18:00 but still at the gate at 19:34 - they’re saying an IT system outage affecting submission of flight plans.

I haven’t seen any other reports yet, but pilot suggests it could be nationwide (alarming if true).

Thanks, not looking too promising. That said, my connection is out of MEL so who knows if that is going anywhere
