	Description:		A foreign government has hacked the Australian Parliament's servers and the networks of three of our major political parties. It's still not clear what they wanted, or whether they got it. A lot of fingers are pointing at China, even though the Chinese Government strongly denies any involvement. So why would a foreign power want to hack the Australian Parliament? The options include blackmailing MPs, and influencing small corners of the federal election. So if it was China, what might it do next? Featured: Fergus Hanson, International Cyber Policy Centre, Australian Strategic Policy Institute Stephanie Borys, ABC political reporter
