Huawei pleads with the federal government to lift 5G ban; Communications Minister Paul Fletcher says "no"

Chinese telco giant Huawei has pleaded the federal government to urgently reconsider its ban on the company providing equipment to Australia's 5G mobile network.

In a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into 5G, Huawei says it's committed to "a robust framework of safeguards, checks and balances"  to ensure its broadband technology can only be used in Australia's national interest and economic well-being.

However, Communications Minister Paul Fletcher told the ABC's AM program that the federal government stands by its decision to ban Huawei from the 5G network.
