Angus Taylor, Opposition Leader

Angus Taylor, the opposition leader, said breaches of critical government systems should concern all Australians and warned of fears about what may happen as artificial intelligence continues to develop.

He said:

“Critical government systems and this should be a great concern to all of us, it's a great concern of the coalition and of course this is one of the fears we've all had about what may happen as AI continues”

Taylor called for transparency from government about when officials first learned of the breach, what vulnerabilities were exposed, and what steps have been taken to fix them since.
