Microsoft Azure Australia Geo announced.

Microsoft have announced that Azure is now available so that data is stored in Australia. There appears to be two locations. One in NSW and one in Victoria which I suspect will enable them to have redundancy in Australia. This should handle one of the issues where data was previously stored overseas. It however doesn't resolve the issue where the USA government seems to consider they have access to data maintained by American companies no matter where they are located in the world, or at least that's how I've read the situation. It is however a major step forward.
