As the world has become a cyber hub, so no nation
can stay behind. The NBN project and
telecommunication companies of Australia have
joined hands to create a digital economy. This
will not only digitalize the nation, but, will
help in creating a digitally literate and
empowered community, digitally aware and enabling
Government, innovative and skilled industry.
Besides, expanding internet broadband services,
cyber threats and crimes have also become a prime
issue, for the security of the nation, hence,
Australian government, has adopted preventive
measures, to tackle the threats erupting from
internet services. Heavy losses have struck the
economy of the nation, by the internet or cyber
crime in previous years. The report of the
Australian institute of Criminology says that,
financial loss during the 2006-07 financial year
was in between 595 and 649 million. The
Australian government has prepared effective
actions, to fight the cyber crime, so that,
digital Australia is created and is maintained,
for the development of the nation.
