Angus Taylor, Opposition Leader

Angus Taylor, the Opposition Leader, said the Prime Minister failed to address cyber defence in a keynote speech on artificial intelligence delivered in July.

Taylor said:

“I note that the Prime Minister gave a keynote speech back in July on AI. He made a big song and dance about it. He did not even mention cyber defence and the importance of cyber defence.”

Taylor said the omission showed the Prime Minister was out of touch with the real issues facing Australians, and he criticised the government for not being upfront about the breach and its response.
