Australia's data centre sector faces increased scrutiny as a parliamentary inquiry reveals inadequate regulatory checks, Bloomberg reports.

NEXTDC has responded to Goodman and Digital Realty's share bid, calling it 'opportunistic', per Reuters.

The inquiry stops short of recommending a moratorium on new developments, despite concerns over oversight gaps.
