## Resource

ASIO is sounding the alarm: politicians, keep your sensitive conversations out of your car—especially if it’s connected. Even regular cars can leak data, but Chinese-made EVs now make up over 30% of taxpayer-funded vehicles for parliamentarians, sparking fears they could act like “rolling Chinese data centers.” The opposition is demanding full transparency on data collection, storage, and access, while the Home Affairs Minister defends his choice, saying he consulted security agencies. The debate is heating up, with critics warning all connected vehicles pose risks—and it’s echoing U.S. moves to restrict Chinese automotive tech, raising serious national security questions.
