Australian intelligence chief warns of infiltration by the “A.Team” Politicians and employees of the defense industry are allegedly involved. A foreign power is spying on Australia on a large scale, the intelligence chief claims.

"The A-Team should know that his cover has been blown," says Mike Burgess, head of the Asio intelligence agency. The network recruited a former Australian politician several years ago, he says, and tried to drive a family member of the prime minister into the arms of the spies.
