Amazon's $20 billion investment to give Australia a ‘beachhead' in global digital economy
Industry Minister Tim Ayres discusses Amazon's announcement to invest $20 billion in data centres in Australia, strengthening the country's AI capability.
'That investment on its own is very significant for Australia's digital infrastructure,' Mr Ayres told Sky News Australia.
'There is very significant scope to cease on these kinds of investments that give Australia a beachhead in the new global digital economy – this is absolutely in economic interest, this is absolutely in our security and broader geopolitical interest in a fast-moving, less secure world.'
