Australia’s domestic intelligence agency has warned the country faces an “unprecedented” threat of foreign espionage and interference, as it revealed it had uncovered a “sleeper agent” who spent years running spy rings and building business links.
Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) Director-General Mike Burgess warned of the rise of espionage, interference and right-wing extremism in the country at ASIO headquarters in Canberra on Feb. 24 as he unveiled the agency’s annual threat assessment.
