Google has hit back at Communications Minister Stephen Conroy's criticism of its record on privacy, questioning his commitment to plans to censor the internet.
The communications minister also came under fire more broadly on Tuesday after accusing the internet giant of being responsible for the "single greatest breach in the history of privacy".
The attack on Google and its chief executive during a Senate hearing on Monday night comes after the company criticised the government's plans to introduce a mandatory internet filter.
// But the company responded to the latest round in the debate by questioning Senator Conroy's own commitment to the filter policy.
"We were surprised to hear more discussion about Google and Facebook than about the actual proposed filter," a spokeswoman said in a statement.
