Mike Burgess outlines activities of spy network dubbed ‘the A-team’ in annual threat assessment, without naming former politician nor the country involved
Without naming the individual, Burgess said the A-team “successfully cultivated and recruited a former Australian politician”. He said this occurred “several years ago”.
“This politician sold out their country, party and former colleagues to advance the interests of the foreign regime,” Burgess said. “At one point, the former politician even proposed bringing a prime minister’s family member into the spies’ orbit. Fortunately that plot did not go ahead but other schemes did.”
Nah they won’t get outed or penalised. They’ll just get invited to less cool parties now because treason is gross and nobody wants to be seen with that
Missed the headline point
Does that mean he goes to jail now? Some consequence for there action, or do they get some bad press and a slap on the wrist?
