Australian Border Enforcement (ABF) has decided to stop using Chinese-made drones out of an abundance of caution.

In April, the federal government ordered a safety review of hundreds of drones made by a Chinese company, Da Jiang Innovations (DJI), after it was discovered that Australia’s Department of Defense was using them.
