Paterson, the shadow minister for cyber security and countering foreign interference, urged the government to urgently come up with a plan to remove all such cameras.Hikvision said it was "categorically false" to represent the company as a threat to Australia's national security as it could not access the video data of end users, manage end-user databases or sell cloud storage in Australia.
"The concern is that these are Chinese manufactured cameras and there's data being collected which is going back to the Chinese state," he told Reuters. Relations were later damaged further by an Australian call for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he was not concerned about how China might react to the removal of cameras.
