The DEPUTY SPEAKER (Ms Vamvakinou) took the chair at 10:00.
I'm talking about Huawei and ZTE. Both these telcos are subject to government … dictates.
Both Huawei and ZTE must report to a Communist Party cell at the top of their organisations. Let me issue a clarion call to this parliament … Australia's 5G network must not be sold to these telcos. Whatever instructions might be issued for Australian sovereignty—
… they will be compromised if we sell the construction of our new central communications 5G network to companies effectively controlled by an authoritarian government whose leader has recently been made dictator for life.
… identification of shortcomings in Huawei's engineering processes have exposed new risks in the UK telecommunication networks and long-term challenges in mitigation and management.
… Huawei’s processes continue to fall short of industry good practice …
Technical issues have been identified in Huawei' s engineering processes, leading to new risks in the UK telecommunications networks …
… the number of complainants was falling as the card holders learnt that in most cases the level of inconvenience was minimal.
Some of our Senators only listen to what interests them and not the community … following the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee's public hearing in Kalgoorlie on the 12th October 2017, an offer was made to those Senators in attendance to visit Leonora at Council's expense to see for themselves how our communities were being destroyed … but they couldn't even be bothered acknowledging receipt of the offer. I'm convinced they are just afraid of the truth.
Can I also add that the Cashless Debit Card is doing wonders for the Leonora Community. It's so peaceful, even the dogs have stopped barking at night.
