China has decried the Australian government's removal of Chinese-made cameras from its buildings. 9News
In a press conference in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning gave a strongly worded criticism of the decision.
"We're doing an assessment of all the technology for surveillance within the defence estate and where those particular cameras are found, they'll be removed," Marles told the ABC. "It's important that it's been brought to our attention, it is prudent we do the assessment and act on it," he told 9News.
Paterson issued questions to every federal agency after the Home Affairs Department was unable to say how many of the cameras or related systems were in federal government buildings."We urgently need a plan from the Albanese government to rip every one of these devices out of Australian government departments and agencies," Paterson said.
