Gary Nairn (Eden-Monaro, Liberal Party, Special Minister of State) Share this | Hansard source

I am aware of the report and have some responsibility in this process because the Australian Government Information Management Office, AGIMO, falls within my direct responsibility as Special Minister of State. So I am well aware of the report and I could say that some of the findings of that report are a bit disappointing given the recommendations from a few years ago.

The whole internet security area is very much a changing area. We know how technology is changing dramatically, almost weekly, and that raises some fairly substantial challenges in e-security areas. The member for Prospect can be assured that we will be taking up their recommendations. In fact we have already started to work on that. I think the government and the department are much better placed now than they were a few years ago to deal with these matters. AGIMO is already working on these recommendations. The member can be assured that they will be implemented.
