Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Tubull.
David Gray/CorbisAustralia's Prime Minister Malcolm Tubull hopes to help bring the country into the 21st century with his Cyber Security Strategy, aounced on Thursday.
The PM says that the govement will be investing AU$230 million (around $180 million or £125 million) on new measures, including hiring over 100 IT specialists and the implementation of 33 initiatives.
It comes after key official organisations in Australia have come under cyberattack, with Tubull revealing in a speech that the country's Bureau of Meteorology "suffered a significant cyber intrusion" last year, according to the ABC. "The Department of Parliamentary Services suffered a similar intrusion in recent years," he added.
Online attacks are looking to become a significant frontier of war, with the US last month publicly aouncing that it was hitting ISIS systems with cyberassaults. Similarly, Tubull said that the Australian govement, too, has "offensive cyber capability".
It's not just a matter of defence, either, with economy being a factor. The PM said on his official website that the strategy aims to help "the transition to a new and more diverse economy which is fuelled by iovation, the opening of new markets and more investment in Australian enterprise."
