Officials there say 1.5 million records were stolen over the weekend. BASIL ZEMPILAS: Singapore's Prime Minister was specifically targeted for his medical history, according to reports, raising the question: how easily could the same thing happen here? KYLIE GILLIES: Well, to discuss this, we're joined by the Australian Medical Association's President, Dr Tony Bartone, and digital rights campaigner and lawyer Lizzie O'Shea. Welcome to you both. Lizzie, let's start with you. I mean, uncanny this timing of the attack in Singapore, in the first week of the opt-out here. I mean, it highlights how valuable this information is to hackers, right? LIZZIE O'SHEA: Absolutely. I think when you centralise information like this, in a designed process that puts all this information in a single spot, it becomes very attractive to hackers. What we're looking at is creating a system where people will want to access it for all sorts of nefarious reasons, and we're also putting power in the hands of Government to be able to decide how that information is used.
