My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Cyber Security, Minister Watt. The Optus data breach has resulted in the personal details of millions of Australians being exposed and some of that data being made available online. The Privacy Act 1988 requires Optus to lodge a notifiable data breach report with the Office of the Information Commissioner. Minister, please advise if Optus has met this legal requirement and provided the appropriate documentation to the Office of the Information Commissioner and, from that, please advise the Senate how many Australians had their private data breached? I understand it is almost 10 million people.
