On August 6th 2020 the Australian government launched its cyber security strategy for 2020. A copy can be seen here.

esley Seebeck, a professor and chief executive of the Cyber Institute at the Australian National University, commented in the AFR that this almost impossible task did not contain much strategy and is merely a set of guidelines. I think this is doing it an injustice and it is a pretty good attempt at getting something out there in a rapidly changing environment. I was slightly concerned however that the Advisory Panel for the paper consistent almost exclusively of Chairs and CEO's of Telecoms companies. Whilst these businesses do play a significant part in cyber security across the country, they are not the only stakeholders or significant components in the chain to make our digital world safe.
