Australia spy chief warns of "unprecedented" foreign espionage threatSYDNEY - Australia is under an “unprecedented” threat of foreign espionage and interference, one of the country’s most senior spy chiefs said in a rare speech, citing the case of a “sleeper agent” who spent years building business links.
“It’s very reasonable to assume that China was the country in question,” said Rory Medcalf, head of the National Security College, Australian National University.Reuters reported in September that Australia’s intelligence agencies concluded China was responsible for a cyber-attack on the Australian parliament and three largest political parties just months before a general election in May 2019.
He said the sleeper agent from an unnamed country laid dormant for several years, building business and community links before he started to supply information about expatriate dissidents. That information, Burgess said, was used to harass the dissidents in Australia and their relatives overseas.
HatesHorseshoes Welcome to America...I mean Australia.
karolcummins Russia🤔
ericgarland Newsflash, Russia has been using Australian accounts on Twitter to try to create racial infighting in the U.S. for at least over a year now.
I know where you’re keeping the koalas, and I have reported it to my government.
Absolute bullshit
Is anyone going to mention Muslims planning on killing western people? Thought that would of been more important. How about ASIO focusing your attention on Muslims?!
That’s rich, Australia was involved in the 5 eyes spying of the Trump campaign....
Far right being blamed for being organized? In Aussie land? Watching this is sad. I don't believe him.
That is easy to see. Add to this, wasn't the main purpose of founding Australia so the UK/England had a place to send all their criminals? So much is genetic...certainly a place and people to keep eyes upon in regard to crime.
Why would someone want to spy on Australia? Only reason could be its military & spying collaboration with USA. Nothing else to see.
And the highest % of foreign espionage is from which country / which nationality?
Just ask us about the election they bought with public money or the foreign media ownership.

It's 100% real get your package from here
Trump & Admin were “gobsmacked” after the debriefing on Russian interference, yet we, as civilians, already knew this to be taking place since last election. Something tells me that Trump & Friends will be utterly useless (as usual) with regards to this espionage issue.
Spy chef 😅😁
What happens when US installs russian agent at head of intel operations and you share intel communities? I guess we are finding out... Sorry Australia
All Leaders should seek to prevent. Not run towards it with open arms like realDonaldTrump and his Admin.
HOW SO ON CYBER-SPACE WILLING STATE PARTEA.
It's all the stuff on Trump they are after
InfoSomniac2 ...from Australia, if history is any indication.
