Australia Covid live update: NSW records 78 new cases, Victoria 13; SA announces lockdown after two new Delta cases

We have a responsibility to draw attention in Australia to the threats that they pose.

I have received briefings on these issues of a private nature, but what we know is that they have been increased – the number of cyber security issues – in Australia in recent years.

Companies need to be vigilant. People need to be aware of those issues, they need to seek the advice of the appropriate authorities. Australia has magnificent authorities and expertise, and areas like the Australian Signals Directorate, and others related to the cyber security issues are there to give advice to Australians to make sure that companies and, indeed, other interests including government interests are looked after.
