Australia's cyber defences are expected to get a $1.3 billion boost with a funding package designed to help protect the nation against malicious online threats, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced.
The PM recently confirmed increased cyber attacks on Australia by a foreign entity - identified as China by experts.
China's government has denied it is the source of the malicious activity.
The funding will include $31 million towards battling cyber crime offshore and $20 million for laboratories to come up with technology to mitigate cyber threats.
