Cybercrime is costing Australians dearly, though what has a Labor government done to remedy the problem?

JULIA Gillard will this week identify the rise of China and a massive escalation in cyber attacks against government and industry as two of the key security issues facing the nation in a major address designed to strengthen Labor's defence credentials.

The Prime Minister will use her first important speech of the election year - to the Australian National University's National Security College in Canberra on Wednesday - to outline Australia's national security objectives, actions and priorities over the next five years.

Ummmmm, eeeer yes, we have identified the problem and the next step is to........

Whilst some of you out there might argue..."Well, this is one of the things on her to-do list" when she heads off to meet with Chinas leader this coming Friday to attend the Boao Forum, which is part-founded by Bob Hawke.

But the thing is.... other nations including the UK and US have done more to manage the concern costing Australians a sweet fortune, even more than burglaries, and exceeding $4.6 billion annually.


Has our lazy PM got other things on her agenda?

Things more important than securing Australians online?


Here we have Conroy the magnificent rolling out a NBN, yet they cant even get a handle on cyber security?

The UK and US have signed this new security pact, though for some reason, Australia hasn't.

Why not?

China’s cyber-war machine threatens us all
It’s good news that India has signed a new security pact with Britain – Beijing’s power in cyberspace grows by the day

When David Cameron agreed a new cyber-security pact with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh yesterday, he was not just seeking to protect the highly sensitive personal data of millions of British households that is stored by Indian call centres and computer servers. He was looking to establish a vital strategic alliance that will help to protect our shores from the mounting threat posed by China’s formidable cyber-warfare machine.

Of course, protecting individuals’ private information is vital if Britain is to maintain its enviable position as a world leader in online services. Untold damage can be done to our personal finances, and reputation, if access to such information falls into the wrong hands: it is estimated that a significant proportion of the £73 billion Britain loses to fraud each year is down to fake internet activity.

Aren't Australians worth protecting?

Even New Zealand has signed the security pact.


Labor claims it wants to be part of an international community, yet with something as important as securing it's nation in readiness for a NBN, where are they?

What are they doing?




Labor, always a day late and a dollar short.

This is called being "Progressive" apparently.

The internet is a medium and Julia is trying to make sure that every medium comment is channelled through the ALP's medium police body chairperson for approval beofr e any publication
You may have heard about China's censorship of the internet during the Olympics, well Steve Conroy would have made China look like a free-for-all.
But that legislation from Steve Conroy failed to progress through the HofRs last week.

True, and they still aren't allowing our MSM discuss the iconic Rolf Harris.
