Green light for Huawei

CHINESE-OWNED telecommunications giant Huawei has won a $136 million contract with the West Australian Government after consultations with security agencies.

The McGowan Government is under fire for dismissing security concerns over the deal to supply a 4G communications system for Perth’s rail network.

News of the deal follows the local arm of the Chineseowned telecommunications giant saying Australian customer data will never be handed over to Chinese spy agencies.
