Why #Australia is going through so many #CyberAttacks, many resulting in #dataleaks, lately?

According to cryptographer Prof. Vanessa Teague from the Australian National University:

'We've had a decade of anti-security policy. We've had laws that required the acquisition of data that didn't need to be acquired, laws that demand the retention of data that didn't need to be retained'.

@spmatich Plus the data retention laws in 2015 (I think), which Labor supported.
And what about the Internet filter Labor tried to impose a few years earlier?
