#8 So Australia shouldn't have tried to stop an Israeli spy ring stealing our military tech?

#9 I suspect it was a bullshit article to begin with.

"Secretly expelled?" "...known to have seduced a senior Defense Department official..."?

And what would this spy ring really be for?

Israel probably has more cooperative defense projects with the US than Australia does.

The idea that Israel runs spy rings in New Zealand doesn't seem to make sense; they have larger problems closer to home than to try to get alleged secrets from a country that's pretty much shut down its military.

#10 The alleged spy ring in New Zealand was arrested for trying to obtain a passport for another Israeli who had been using false documents. The Israelis were deported from New Zealand after serving their sentences.
The implication was that Mossad was going to use NZ passport to create an identity that would be used to carry out black ops

#11 Let me understand.
Israeli consul met with two distressed Israeli citizens --- probably a part of his job description. And had an affair with "... senior Defence Department official who is believed to have had access to classified documents." Which led ASIO to suspect that "... he intended to use the woman to gain US intelligence and military technology given to Australia."

I have two remarks for Australians.
(a) It's hardly suprizing that a sheila prefers an Israeli to local drongos.
(b) At least you're not accusing us of trying to steal Australian military technology.

#18 Israeli consul met two alleged Mossad agents, whose ring included an Israeli diplomat. These nen are deported, and then their Australian contact is deported. Israel makes no complaint or protestation of innocence.

Whether you are aware of it or not, Israel does spy on western nations, just like other countries. Australia isn't likely to risk a diplomatic breach by deporting an Israeli diplomat for no reason, particularly since the current Australian government is the most pro-American, pro-Israeli in generations.

#20 I traveled the length of your east coast about 20 years ago. Every little town had a Toyota dealer, a Kentucky Fried Chicken stand, and a pub with a huge Fosters sign. I've often wondered what the insides of those Toyotas were like with all that rancid chicken grease and spilled beer. :P

#23 evening GSTW - lived down to expectations. I don't expect Aussies or anyone else to OK Mossad spies on their homeland,
Paul, just wondered aloud who was acceptable?

#25 Err, the only fact we know is an Israeli diplomat seduced an Oz gov employee. There is no spy ring I can see.

Frank we all know that pretty much every country spies on most of the others. The presence of 'spies' is not the issue. The issue is did they do something wrong/illegal. Last time I checked seduction was not illegal in Oz.
