A Austrália espia Timor-Leste

Posted by John, December 3rd, 2013 - under ASIO, Bernard Collaery, East Timor, STASI, Secret police. I was listening to ABC Radio’s PM program on Tuesday tonight and they led with this. This is my interpretation of what they ran. I’ll post a link to their story when it is up and I am awake. ASIO, one of Australia’s secret police agencies, has raided the Canberra offices of Bernard Collaery, a lawyer for East Timor in its spying case against Australia. They have also arrested a whistle blower. Collaery, a former ACT Attorney-General, is in The Hague at the moment putting East Timor’s case against Australia over allegations that Australia used a foreign aid cover to get security agents to bug the rooms of the East Timorese negotiators of the treaty into revenue sharing from the Greater Sunrise gas field in 2004. Part of the case appears to have been to bring forward a whistleblower at The Hague to expose Australia’s spying. ASIO has allegedly arrested a person this evening and speculation is that it is the whistleblower. Collaery says that the detailed information of the bugging is in any event in their hands at The Hague. PM ABC says that the whsitleblower is perhaps a former member of one of Australia’s spy agencies and may even be one of those allegedly sent to East Timor under the guise of humanitarian aid to bug the rooms of the East Timorese negotiators. It is further alleged that they were sent on the orders of then Foreign Minister Alexander Downer. Secret police – keeping Australian capital safe from all ‘threats’ – East Timor, workers, Indonesia, Edward Snowden. Secret police – trampling over human rights, acting illegally. Abolish Australia’s secret police, the Australian equivalent of the STASI. Abolish STASIO and STASIS.
