Thanks Brad for bringing this up.
From a Spark business connection there's definitely a problem:

Morning,
Could someone from Spark please ping me off list.
Your DNS servers haven't been resolving ripe.net domains for the last 3 months. Your helpdesk is telling me that RIPE has been shutdown because they cannot ping them.
