ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess has said the organisation uncovered a sleeper agent who has been providing logistical and financial support for foreign agents engaged in intelligence missions.
The Courier-Mail's Damien Tomlinson told Sky News host Peter Gleeson Australia’s biggest asset as far as international security is concerned has been “our general location ... it’s just too hard to do things here”. “It sounds like our blessed run has come to an end”. Image: News Corp Australia
It doesnt surprise me. Pls identify and make it known for the public to be able to identify and inform the authorities of suspicious characters.
With 2 million Chinese in the country is it any wonder?
lynlinking Perhaps the PM need look no further than his back bench.
And why’s that? Because Peter Dutton’s diverted so many resources into punishing poor brown people, who aren’t a threat to anyone. Hasn’t got the brains to take espionage seriously
couchycraig basically anyone who works for Murdoch to start with...any member of his IPA ...n then there's the Chinese..
Imagine there being more people around now compared to 50 years ago. How's it possible, baffling, just baffling 🤔😐🙄🙄
How many sleeper cells here lots every two years they say we have spies ..pleasevthis is not news ..More shot news every country has spies every country ..France England America Australia China Indonesia.. Please no more old news
Who needs spies when we've got so many traitors?
lynlinking Yes, they’re in the picture.
I don't know why the spies bother. Labor greens are already onside and most Australian politicians don't have the steel to fight anything tougher than a Wagu steak
Another benefit from FTAs and open borders, thanks, you incompetent politicians.
Here we go, some other piece of legislation that’ll have to be brought in as a matter of national security. Legislation that’ll somehow have a direct effect on our human rights.
Must be budget time, obviously angling for funding and greater access to personal data of Aust citizens. Ought to be denied, privacy matters. Greens PaulineHansonOz RealBobKatter
fransi1803 😂😂😂😂😂😂 If the foreign ’spies’ are searching our government for ‘intelligence’ they’re going to be very disappointed. My guess is they’ll miss their KPI’s at their next spy work appraisal & be categorised as ‘needs development’. What a sucky assignment for a spy 🕵️♀️ auspol
And you are surprised?
What’s the news in this? Every country worth its salt has spies in other countries— the only difference tends to be scale. What do you think ASIS does in foreign countries?
OH WHICH COLD WAR IS THAT? THE SO CALLED ONE WHEN YOU OPEN AU UNDER AN ENACTED CODE FOR WAR IN THE NAME OF TERRORISM (CORPORATE TERRORISM YOU ALL) INCORPORATION NOT A GOV...SPIES
SPIES, ESPIONAGE AND FOREIGN AGENTS AND WHAT GOVERNMENT, YOUR AN INCORPORATION...THERE IS YOUR SPIES...
The Chinese government continues to lie, and today they are trying to mislead the public, that they are innocent, and that the virus of Corona is not man-made !!! Indeed, the virus of corona is not made by a person, but by a Chinese demon.
Yes, the US
Der
I guess Sky doesn't know the meaning of the term 'sleeper agent' but keep going, I'm all ears.
AusAntiLeft Let me guess, Chinese. Stop selling out Australia to China! Climate change isn't our biggest threat it's having the country sold from under us!
Is the lady between the two gentleman a suspect😂
Zali Steggals, Getup! & the Greens? Seems plausible if not obvious

Waleed Aly 'wants Australia to learn from Germany on climate change': Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Channel Ten's The Project,” is “unashamedly woke, pitching its program and what it calls news at the young, and presumably, the ill-informed'. \n\nMr Kenny referenced a recent report by Waleed Aly where the host presented Germany “as an exemplar on climate change action and sensible, efficient energy policies”. \n\nIn comparison, Australia was contrasted as a country that isn’t “doing anything” on the issue of climate change. \n\n“The Project claimed Germany is showing Australia the way in the here and now,” he said. \n\nMr Kenny referenced recently released reports that “shows German electricity prices are the highest of the major world economies at 34c a kilowatt hour”. \n\nHe argued this is 41 per cent higher than Australia at 24 cents per kilowatt hour and 126 per cent higher than the United States. \n\n“Waleed Aly and The Project say we should be emulating the wonderful climate action success story of Germany'. \n\n“Is that what The Project is arguing for, or do they really think they can just pump out fake news and no one will ever check out the actual facts?' Mr Kenny said. \n\nImage: Getty \n Chris Kenny saying someone is uninformed. Rupert come on old man. That's so funny 😂. Why then, does kenny get 10% of their ratings and his market share is dwindling?
