"Earlier this week, Bevan Slattery, the chief executive of subsea cable company
SubCo, announced that two cables had experienced faults over the weekend. He
deemed it a “concerning development” because these “submarine cables are the
digital lifeblood of our nation”.
Slattery called on federal police to investigate the issue urgently.
The subsea cable damage occurred within the Perth Submarine Cable Protection
Zone, an area specifically designed to keep these cables safe. However, this
safe zone extends over 100 kilometers offshore with the cables on the seabed,
making them difficult to monitor and access.
But there is a way Australia can practically safeguard these cables."
