China is being blamed for a major cyber attack on the computers at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, which has compromised sensitive systems across the Federal Government. The bureau provides critical information to a host of other Federal government agencies.
Multiple official sources have confirmed the recent attack and the ABC has been told it will cost millions of dollars to plug the security breach, as other agencies have also been affected. In the words of one source: "It could take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to fix."
Sounds like there's some severe systemic failures going on in Canberra.

Mmmm... yes.
Too bad there's nothing like public benefit corporations - somehow like a not-4-profit. I reckon someone should invent them.
Here's how this may work: I imagine that their shares won't necessary be traded on stock exchange, but otherwise the corporation may issue shares to those interested in that particular public benefit the corporation is created for.
So, owning a share in such a corporation wouldn't bring monetary dividends but will entitle the... well... shareholder to proportional vote in the corp's general meeting.
