EARLY EDITION

Editor's Note

Good morning,

This bumper budget edition of iTnews brings you all the tech in the Coalition's federal budget for 2017-18.

There's money to give an e-health record to every Australian by default, more for the Bureau of Meteorology to shore up security after the damaging 2015 hack, and a little bit extra in the pocket of Bitcoin enthusiasts.

Elsewhere, be prepared for border agents to collect more of your biometrics, and you can also look forward to asking for - and receiving - more of your own data from your bank.

- Allie Coyne
