Senator ROBERTS: Yes, please. You mentioned, Mr Kanagaratnam, the service that Nokia provides from India. I've also recently been made aware—it's apparently a fact—that communication through the internet from the east coast of Australia to Western Australia is via China or via the United States, and it's the same with the communication from Western Australia back to the east coast. It's via those two countries—predominantly through China. Is that correct? Mr Kanagaratnam: No, that's not correct.

The senate inquiry into the Optus outage had important things to cover in the Friday hearing, so one thing that didn't get attention was Malcolm Roberts casually dropping in a conspiracy theory: that Australian internet traffic goes via China.
"It's apparently a fact". No it isn't, you goose. #auspol
