There was no problem with the website, but the Domain Name Server for liberty.asn.au went off the air. How soon this affected you would depend upon how often your ISP tries to refresh their own Name Servers.
The support website for the company responsible for our domain name was also off the air so I couldn't find out what was happening, but I am pretty sure it's related to a power failure at the IPrimus Data Centre, in Melbourne yesterday, which wiped out a lot of services.

Whirlpool wrote:Primus' data centre at 55 King St Melbourne lost power this afternoon, months after a similar issue crippled multiple ISPs.
The power dropped around 3:45PM and caused Victorian and Tasmanian customers from ISPs such as Exetel, iiNet, Internode and Netspace to lose their broadband connections.
Internode was able to route around the problem by 4:15PM, while the other ISPs were back online around 5:30PM.
In a notice to customers, Primus blamed "high tension fuses in the CitiPower substation feeding our Data centre", which it said was the same issue affecting power in February.
Backup diesel generators "failed to start due to a synchronization processor failure." According to the notice, works to upgrade the substation that failed were already planned for next weekend.
