QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:35): We have a set of data centre expectations, from which the Prime Minister has said we will develop Australian standards. Our intention is to make sure that these can be appropriately constructed and that they apply to the rollout of not only the infrastructure but also the principles I have outlined, which go to the technology more broadly.

Again, we can't avert our eyes. We have to work out how we keep Australians safe but also how we best utilise the technology and enable our engagement with it constructively.
