Government hands down a broadband budget

13.05.2009

A new $8.8 million national Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be created as a single point of contact for e-security concerns and to issue advice on online threats to the public.

The new CERT will be created alongside and in collaboration with the existing AusCERT following recommendations from the e-security review. The Wireless Priority Service System will receive a further 6.8 million in funds to improve the government's national disaster response.
