Spokesman says company had no 'commercial contracts' in Australia, despite having a local business name
Cambridge Analytica has said it holds no data on Australian individuals and has no local business contracts, despite setting up an Australian entity in 2015 and meeting with prospective clients including members of the Liberal party.
The company's tactics attracted worldwide attention after news broke that it had unauthorised access to tens of millions of Facebook profiles, harvested through users of an app and the friends of those users.
