Senator REYNOLDS ( Western Australia — Minister for Defence ) ( 14:15 ): I thank Senator Molan for that question and for his deep and abiding commitment to our nation's security. The No. 1 priority for this Morrison government is to keep all Australians safe and secure. As our security intelligence agencies have made abundantly clear, the threat to Australia from foreign interference has never been greater. This is why the government is further strengthening Australia's response to foreign interference. We are committing $87.8 million to establishing a new task force, designed to disrupt and also to deter anyone from attempting to undermine Australian sovereign national interests. Working to the— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator REYNOLDS: Those opposite here actually understand that this is important. Working to the National Counter Foreign Interference Coordinator, the task force will be led by a senior ASIO officer and will include experts from across Australia's national intelligence community, including the AFP, AUSTRAC, the Australian Signals Directorate, the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation and the Office of National Intelligence, who will also support the task force. This task force will boost the ability of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to discover, track and disrupt foreign interference in Australia. It will deepen our understanding of what we know are sophisticated disinformation activities happening across the world, particularly against democratic processes and also elections. This new Counter Foreign Interference Taskforce highlights the Morrison government's commitment to stepping up our nation's security. It also demonstrates our commitment to take stronger action to deter acts of foreign interference, to defend against them when they occur and to ensure that our laws are upheld.
