The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) is to house its national headquarters in Melbourne, with the Victorian Government hailing the move as boosting opportunities for Victorian businesses to work together and grow the performance of numerous local industries. Germany's tech watchdog says it has seen no evidence to back up claims being flung around that Chinese telecommunications equipment firm Huawei Technologies could use its products to spy for China. The Australian Communications and Media Authority is taking a heavy-handed approach to non-compliance with complaints-handling processes by telcos, with only 7 out of 41 telcos investigated found not to be in breach of the rules. And telcos who fail to carry out remediation directions issued by the ACMA face fines of up to $10 million. Just 12 days after the government's encryption law was passed by Parliament, the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security has announced it would begin a review of the law. ASX-listed Canberra-based cyber security firm archTIS has begun a beta trial of its cloud-based Kojensi Gov platform with the Attorney-General's department to test the market readiness of the product. Google attempts to launch a censored search engine in China appear to have been put on the backburner after the company shut down a data analysis system used for building the engine.
