Australia's security agency, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), has issued a warning to politicians and public servants about the risks of discussing sensitive government information in internet-connected cars. Deputy Director General Lisa Alonso Love emphasized that such discussions should occur only in secure environments, as connected vehicles can transmit real-time data to manufacturers, potentially enabling eavesdropping. This warning coincides with severe weather conditions across Australia, prompting flood warnings in New South Wales and Tasmania. The New South Wales State Emergency Service (SES) has cautioned residents in the Upper Hunter and low-lying areas of Tasmania to prepare for possible evacuations due to heavy rainfall. Additionally, the Australian Federal Police are investigating media leaks related to the arrest of former SAS corporal Ben Roberts-Smith, who is facing five charges of war crimes. Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett has expressed determination to uncover how details of the arrest were leaked to the media, underscoring the seriousness of unauthorized disclosures.
