Gillard vows to fight 'malicious' cyber attacks
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has warned of a decades-long war against the growing risk of malicious cyber attacks and promised to set up a new national centre to combat the threat.
Releasing the Government's National Security Strategy, Ms Gillard spoke of the cyber threat to governments, businesses and individuals, and highlighted the need to strengthen Australia's ability to respond.
Another day another headline, surely people are a wake up to her now.

I suppose it's nothing new for our Julia, she must have been roundly despised as a solicitor for S&G.
..Mr Wright said that the national executive would consider Senator Crossin and other applications if they were made, but he confirmed that no one from Labor's Northern Territory branch would be allowed to vote.
Speaking in Melbourne earlier on Wednesday, Senator Crossin challenged the ALP national executive to put Ms Peris' name on a party ballot.
She said her immediate focus was to get members a ballot - which she would nominate for - and she encouraged people not to resign from the party in protest at her treatment..

If Nikola Roxon brings these new laws in, we'll eventually end up like Thailand where criticism of the King lands you in jail, but it will be anyone who takes offence, over anything. What a joke.
The client chooses the lawyer, does it not ?Fair point IF.

Schools used as election PR fodder
SCHOOLS with recently finished BER buildings will be required to hold election year "recognition ceremonies" at which they are to praise the government and invite federal Employment Minister Bill Shorten to speak.
An online kit sent to schools advises teachers they are to make "provision in the official proceedings for the minister or his representative to speak" at ceremonies which are not to be planned for parliamentary sitting days.
Students can only be asked to speak "where possible and where time permits".
Schools are directed to "acknowledge the government's assistance in all speeches and publicity issued by the school such as newsletters, websites or local media articles".
Staff are also told they are to "record the day through photographs or video footage" and publish the material on the school website and to provide parking for guests, with a government plaque to be fixed to the building.
