A wild guess: that ABC Radio interview probably said "... we had multiple layers of protection", not "players".
Fighto!
So - the Australian government has to hack a private companies' database to obtain drivers license numbers, passport numbers, names and dates of birth?
Conspiracy theories and theorists are laughable - but yours takes the cake!

The Australian government needs to rescind rules requiring people provide such personally identifiable information to obtain a phone number. That is the crux of the problem because it makes a phone company's database such an attractive target.

The Government is probably aware of the scale of the hack, because... they carried it out :-)
