Defence Minister Richard Marles says recruiting New Zealand migrants on the cards to bolster dwindling personnel numbers.

This follows ASIO revelations that a former politician sold out the country to advance the interests of a foreign regime. The MP was not named.

ASIO would not name the country, but revealed an ‘A-team’ of spies actively recruited locals to spy for a foreign regime.

Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles explained this would create the largest fleet since the end of World War II.

The $50 million grant will assist with procurement of military equipment with Australia’s total contribution now $960 million.

‘We are actively strengthening our commitment to security cooperation.’

Australia has also agreed to send a team to New Zealand to discuss the sharing of top secret technology.

Shadow foreign minister Simon Birmingham would like the Prime Minister to raise the issue of anti-Semitism at national cabinet.

‘This is incredibly risky, inappropriate behaviour, and frankly, not the act of a friend,’ said Shadow Home Affairs Minister.

The activists, many wearing face masks, said they were anti-zionist Jewish activists, First Nations mates and allies for a free Palestine.

Anthony Albanese, Peter Dutton, and Richard Marles were among the senior politicians to reflect in Parliament on Monday.

Defence minister says changes will prep Australia for the ‘challenges of our times.’

The Safeguarding Australia’s Military Secrets Bill comes as several cases of Beijing-linked espionage emerge across Western countries.
