Google's Cables to Connect Australia's Military Base

New undersea internet cables, backed by Google and SUBCO, are set to connect Australias east and west coasts, with a direct branch to HMAS Stirling naval base. These superfast cables will span the Indian Ocean, reaching Africa and Asia, and are crucial for Australias digital resilience and AI ambitions. Googles plans also include cables to Christmas Island and Africa, both landing near HMAS Stirling. However, the environmental regulator has temporarily halted the assessment of Googles Western Australian cables to consider matters of national environmental significance.
