My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Wong. Earlier today, some of Australia's allies publicly called out the Chinese Communist Party for malicious cyberactivity attributed to groups sponsored by the Chinese government targeting democratic institutions. In response, the UK and the US sanctioned a front company and two individuals who are complicit in this behaviour. The United States government also revealed that thousands of American citizens have been targeted in a prolific hacking operation for which seven Chinese individuals face charges. What action has the Australian government taken in support of our allies who have been subject to these cyberattacks?
