Despite the good relationship between India and Australia, media reports claim Indian spies were caught in Australia four years ago. No government officials will comment on the matter.
A senior Australian government minister said Wednesday the bilateral relationship with India was good and had improved in recent years, but declined to comment on reports that two Indian spies were secretly expelled from Australia four years ago. Treasurer Jim Chalmers was asked during a television interview whether India could be considered Australia’s friend after Australian news media and The Washington Post reported the two intelligence operatives’ quiet expulsion.
Director-General Mike Burgess outlined the activities of what he described as a 'nest of spies' during a public speech in 2021. But he did not reveal the nation behind the espionage. Most observers suspected China or Russia. The Washington Post, The Sydney Morning Herald and Australian Broadcasting Corp have all cited anonymous security officials identifying the spies as operatives of India’s foreign intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing.
They asked a public servant to provide information on security protocols at a major Australian airport and recruited an official with a security clearance to access sensitive details about defense technology, Burgess said. Burgess and have declined to say whether India was behind the spying. The Indian High Commission in Australia did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
