Former Independent Senator Nick Xenophon says there is a double standard over the treatment of Huawei given Telstra’s equipment is provided by a Chinese state-owned electronics company. Australia excluded Huawei from the rolling out of its 5G infrastructure, which has only recently been replicated in the UK after it initially moved to include the Chinese telco.
Telstra is the only 5G provider in Australia at the moment, and is getting its equipment – which is made in China - from a joint venutr arrangement with Erikson and Panda Electronics.

Mr Xenophon said the process leading to the decision to ban Huawei from Australia’s 5G rollout was unfair and lacked due process, which are all rights “you should afford a company operating in Australia”.
