The site's Roads Closed Status Map shows all major highways in red, i.e. Closed.
What's happening? Are we at War?

I can't see the problem? I see red, yellow and green roads, not just red. But I did double-click the map to zoom in, as initially when I opened the Status map no roads were showing so I zoomed and then they appeared as they should. I think you might just have some sort of image lag on your browser? But Kev's suggestion above is incorrect, its not a default.
Here's my screen right now....

Actually, now that I look closer, I see Stuart Hwy red= closed and other main routes as you say. I will investigate further.

I was about to drive across the Nullarbor. Someone let me know when the road is open again.

The problem is that EO topo also uses Red for main highways. So they look like they are closed.
If you look at any other of the map types they are not shown in red.

Thank you Michelle
I actually posted this question in the 'Create a Review/Discussion' of 'Contact Us' about 2 weeks ago but received no reply. I then posted it into the
Forum.
It was a bit 'tongue in cheek' but it is interesting to see that Tony Abbott's has taken it quite seriously.
I enjoy ExplorOz immensely and the
Forum with its many questions and comments and the helpful and unhelpful answers. You gotta laugh at how some take themselves so seriously.
Anyhow, you, David and the Team are doing a fantastic job. Thank you!!
