Federal Parliament failed to develop effective methods for preventing cyber intrusions and did not regularly update some sensitive information systems, according to a draft internal audit dated three months after a major cyber attack was uncovered.
7.30 can reveal that a scathing internal audit report written by KPMG for the Department of Parliamentary Services concluded the agency had an "ad hoc" approach to all elements of information security management, the lowest rating possible under the scoring metric used.
Huh? Did our government really hire a bunch of accountants to assess the quality of our security services?

On ABC RN some years ago a program was discussing computer & security. One line I will not forget. There are about 850 government computer systems in Australia & of those the number that came up to scratch as far as security was 2 (two)!

They are probably the same experts who wanted to " see a birth certificate for a 99 year old woman " that had almost been granted a home care package after a two year battle. True story related to me today by her son.
Leaked report describes Federal Parliament's cyber security as having 'low level of maturity':
