During question time, I committed to Senator Liddle to provide additional information, which I now do. In the cybersecurity space within Services Australia there are day-to-day operations as well as administrative functions. There are contractors, that will be leaving the agency, that work on administrative functions in the cybersecurity space but not in the day-to-day cybersecurity operations or hardening of the cybersecurity systems. Services Australia is confident cybersecurity will be maintained.
