In consultation with our partners, the Australian government has determined that China's Ministry of State Security exploited vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Exchange software to affect thousands of computers and networks worldwide, including in Australia.
These actions have undermined international stability and security.
Australia calls out these malicious activities to highlight the significant risk they can pose to Australia's national security or to international stability, which in turn can undermine business confidence and inclusive economic growth.
2032 Olympics secured for Queensland
Australia will host the Olympics for the third time and Paralympics for the second time after Brisbane and South East Queensland secured the 2032 Games.
Securing the biggest sporting event in the world offers a goal to any young Australian who dares to dream big.
KPMG has estimated the economic and social benefits of the Brisbane 2032 Games at $8.1 billion for Queensland and $17.6 billion for Australia.
The Games will also create around 120,000 new jobs, including 90,000 jobs in Queensland.
More community pharmacies and GPs to deliver COVID-19 vaccines
Thousands of community pharmacies and additional GPs across Australia will be able to join the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in cities, regional, rural and remote areas, as well as areas with a COVID-19 outbreak.
Community pharmacy is an essential part of the Australian health care system and pharmacists are highly accessible health care professionals who provide patients with access to vital medicines, health care services and support.
The vaccine rollout is gaining pace with over 1 million doses administered in the last week.
This daily rate is equivalent to the US administering over 2.5 million doses in a day.
