have hit back at the documentary, calling the undercover journalist behind the expose"a Middle Eastern spy" who infiltrated Australia to stop immigration debate.
"I believe this is an overseas attack on a political party running in an election that's only a matter of weeks away, to stop the debate on immigration to this country," Mr Dickson said on Tuesday afternoon. "We get the balance of power, very simply that means that we have the testicles of the Government in our hand at every given stage," Mr Dickson was heard saying in the meeting with the NRA. The undercover journalist behind the investigation, Rodger Muller, is Australian."I think Al Jazeera have infiltrated and put a spy into Australian politics, infiltrated over three years, not three days, three weeks, three months, three years," Mr Dickson added.
