An ADF army private and her husband have been accused of spying for the Russians, it was sensationally revealed on Friday. The Australian Federal Police on Thursday arrested the 40-year-old soldier and her 62-year-old labourer husband at their Brisbane home on Thursday morning. They have been charged with preparing for an espionage offence. The woman has been employed for several years in the ADF as an information systems technician.
“Western democracies, including Australia, are being targeted by state actors, but Australia’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies have the laws, capability and tradecraft to identify these spies and those seeking to undermine Australia’s interests,” Kershaw said on Friday. “So my direct warning is this we know who you are. You are likely already exposed.” It is unknown if the information was passed on, or what the pair did while overseas, however the investigation is continuing.
