It's interesting how Tony Abbott, the former Australian prime minister, was genuinely interested in understanding the technology behind the hack.

It reminded me of a nice anecdote from Chris Miller's book Chip War.

When former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull was deciding whether to ban Huawei from the country's 5G network, he "bought himself a 474-page-book titled a Comprehensive Guide to 5G Security to study the topic so that he could ask better questions of his tech experts."

Nice to see politicians getting into infosec, I guess?
