CHINA'S widespread cyber-espionage is a problem and China's libertarian attitude to ripping off intellectual property can't continue, shadow defence minister David Johnston says.
Senator Johnston, Australia's next defence minister in a Tony Abbott government, said the rules of engagement on acceptable cyber conduct need to be settled.
In that regard, the meeting between US President Barack Obama and Chinese president Xi Jinping in June was most important.
China has long been accused of widespread cyber espionage. In the meeting, President Obama said it was critical the US and China adopt rules on what is and isn't acceptable conduct for a national government.
Senator Johnston said he had been briefed on cyber threats by the Defence Signal Directorate.
"However, PLA 3 out of Shanghai is a problem ... the parliamentary website knows it because it has been hacked. The fact is the rules of engagement in this space are really important. We have the capacity to do things but the rules of engagement have to be settled.
PLA 3 - People's Liberation Army Unit 61398 - part of the PLA's third department, responsible for telecommunications - has been blamed for widespread cyber espionage and hacking directed at western companies and governments including Australia.
"The current state of China's libertarian view on intellectual property and its capacity to be ripped off cannot continue," he said.
Senator Johnston's comment came in an Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) debate with defence material minister Mike Kelly, set to be defence minister in a re-elected Labor government.
The pair traded familiar criticisms but neither landed a knockout blow.
Senator Johnston said defence spending as a percentage of gross domestic under Labor had reached the lowest level since before world war two. Labor had also trashed its own two Defence White Papers.
Dr Kelly said the former government had presided over a succession of scandals and took Australia into an unnecessary war in Iraq.
ASPI executive director Peter Jennings said he wasn't declaring a winner.
"I like to think that defence has won on this occasion," he said.
