What could possibly go wrong?
So, a big list of critical infrastructure. So the gov't can identify stuff that would cause a lot of disruption if bad guys targeted any of it.
If I were a bad guy, intent on causing disruption, how could I figure out what it would be worth my while to sabotage?
It's a good job that seriously high-security organizations like the NSA know how to protect sensitive information, like their ultra-secret hacking tools. They'll be able to advise Australia how to keep its target list from the bad guys.
Unless action is also taken to harden the targets on the list as they are identified it has the potential to do more harm than good. Nothing in the article suggested that was going to happen, they're going to compile the list first then later (perhaps) figure out what to do about items on the list.
