WATCH LIVE: Biden addresses media after NATO gaffe; Marles meets with Zelensky about Ukraine support; US intelligence found Russia planned to assassinate manufacturer. Follow updates here.
Two Russian-born Australian citizens will face court after being charged with obtaining defence material to share with officials in Moscow. The pair, a married couple, were arrested at their home in Brisbane on Thursday and each charged with an espionage offence, which comes with a maximum of 15 years in prison. It’s alleged a 40-year-old woman, who is an army private, and a 62-year-old man, were working together to obtain sensitive information.
director-general Mike Burgess said many countries were attempting to steal Australian secret information. “Espionage is not some quaint Cold War notion. Espionage damages our economy and degrades our strategic advantage,” he said. “It can have catastrophic real-world consequences.” The pair will face Brisbane Magistrates Court on the espionage charges later on Friday.
