Exclusive: State government does not have an overarching policy on the app’s use, but it is understood that is now being reviewed
The NSW electoral commission would not provide “detailed public commentary” on its cybersecurity plans but confirmed employees were banned from downloading the app without explicit approval.
NSW Labor’s digital spokesperson, Yasmin Catley, said the Coalition had “failed” to provide an overarching policy and vowed to fix it if Labor forms government in a fortnight. Associate professor in national security at the University of Canberra, Dr Michael Jensen, believed the federal review would probably lead to a ban on government devices in commonwealth departments, with limited exceptions, and the states would probably follow.TikTok Australia’s general manager, Lee Hunter, said TikTok was not a Chinese company, insisting it was a “global” entity that stored the data of Aussie users in Singapore and the US.
