  • Australia has no clear government lead for protecting its submarine cable network and lacks formal mechanisms to coordinate responses between agencies and operators, according to an ANU National Security College report calling for a substantial overhaul of the country’s cable security regime.

  • Optus has announced the completion of the first phase of an effort, dubbed Project Aurora, to extend the life of its D3 satellite.

  • A federal opposition MP has mistakenly attributed a series of telecommunications consumer safeguard reforms to the government’s Universal Outdoor Mobile Obligation legislation, highlighting the potential for confusion between two major telco bills currently before parliament.
