Submission to 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy Legislation Reform Package
Communications Alliance has made a submission in response to the Department of Home Affairs Cyber Security Strategy Legislation Reform Package consultation paper.
The submission commends the Department of Home Affairs and other stakeholders for the collaborative approach that has been taken in the development of the strategy and the measures proposed for implementation of the strategy. It reiterates the need for an ongoing co-design process by leveraging the combined industry and Government/agency expertise in order to achieve the long-term goal of becoming a highly cyber secure nation.
The submission also addresses the nine measures proposed in the consultation paper and, in some instances, raises concerns with the measures as proposed and/or points to the need for more detail to ensure the proposals are appropriately targeting the desired outcomes.
Submission in Response to eSafety’s draft RES and DIS Standards
Communications Alliance has made a submission in response to the Office of the eSafety Commissioner draft Designated Internet Services Standard and the draft Relevant Electronic Services Standard.
The submission draws attention to a number of concerns in relation to the practical applicability of proposed measures, inconsistencies with the registered online safety codes and the Online Safety Act 2021, technical feasibility of requirements and a number of issues around definitional matters. The submission also raises concerns with the proposal to include AI-specific requirements and an associated lack of supply chain considerations.
The submission also endorses DIGI’s submission.
