> Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong has asked Optus to cover passport application fees for anyone caught up in last week's massive data breach, which affected millions of Australians.

I wonder if this is actually intended to be an "ask", or if this is polite language for "we will legally compel them to".

>Passport numbers are among the personal details accessed in what the federal government has described as a "basic hack".

>Optus says the data breach was due to a "sophisticated" operation.

It would be good to know more details of the hack itself.
