This week saw a Labor MP’s office vandalized in Victoria in protest of the party’s inaction surrounding the war in Gaza. The protest has sparked outrage from current and former members of government, who say aggressive protest action is taking things too far.

Have you ever thought about the physical places where our most sensitive and private digital information is stored?
Around Australia lie ultra-secure databases that host everything from your medical records and internet passwords to our governments' records and national secrets.

However in this episode, The Briefing will take you right inside a data control centre, and you'll hear from AuCloud CEO Peter Maloney to find out how they keep your data safe from hackers, scammers and foreign intelligence agencies.
