Chinese EVs are under scrutiny over spying and hacking fears. But cybersecurity risks extend to all connected cars, and Australia needs universal protections rather than a new China scare, Peter Newman writes. #auspol #ElectricVehicles #Cybersecurity

Chinese cars under the bed: a new and dangerous conspiracy
Chinese electric vehicles have become the focus of a new security scare, but connected cars from every country carry cybersecurity risks. Australia needs stronger protections without allowing fear of China to derail the clean energy transition.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

Australian voters told parliament it wanted more Independents in government at the last two elections. The duopoly responded by making it harder to grant that. Trust erodes, and Independents are looking far more preferable that these scaredy twonks. #Auspol michaelwest.com.au/democracys-d...
