Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has sought security advice on a potential government-wide ban on surveillance cameras made by Hikvision and Dahua, which are both partly owned by the Chinese Communist Party. An audit has found that up to 1,000 cameras and other devices may have been installed across 250 federal government sites. This includes 122 devices that have been installed in the electorate offices of 88 federal MPs and senators. A Department of Finance spokesman has advised that Chinese-made surveillance cameras in electorate offices are being replaced as a precautionary measure.
