Here’s What Tony Abbott Thinks Of The Sony Hacks

A bit of political push ‘n’ shove is nothing new, but usually governments don’t get involved in the affairs of private companies.

Companies need to be confident they can operate online in an environment of trust and confidence. Cyber attacks such as these threaten a strong and prosperous economy and undermine our way of life.
