Australian PM Gillard outlines cyber, national security strategy: The Australian

Ben Packham reports for The Australian on Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s address on national security and cybersecurity.  Regarding cybersecurity, Gillard discussed a very interesting collaborative cybersecurity center which, according to Packham:
