ASIO Director General Mike Burgess has revealed “three or four” nations have been found involved in foreign interference in diaspora communities across Australia.
The head of ASIO has revealed at least “three or four” countries have been found engaged in foreign interference in Australia’s diaspora communities , declaring some of the nations “would surprise you”.
Mike Burgess sat down for an interview with ABC Insiders on Sunday. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Martin Ollman When pressed on why Iran could be publicly mentioned, Mr Burgess said the government had already done it, presumably referring to an incident revealed in February last year. The ASIO boss then said some of the countries found to be engaging in interference in Australia would come as a surprise to many.
It comes after ASIO last week raised the terrorism threat level in Australia from “possible” to “probable,’ the first time it has been raised to this threshold since 2014.
