Senator Bragg stated that the purpose of this particular law is to provide an effective regulatory framework, as well as to ensure that information is reported by certain banks that facilitates the use or availability of the digital Yuan in Australia.
Senator Bragg said it was not an incriminating attitude, it was just a matter of preparing and gathering information, and they thought it was perfectly reasonable.
Senator Bragg said Australia would not benefit from having a CBDC as privacy issues could not be managed, but it was important that the Australian government put something on the table to manage other CBDCs introduced.
