@beefarmer; the lack of response from Albanese reminded me of how Australia was caught out keystone cops like spying on Indonesia after Abbott beceam PM in 2013:
"... Asked about the spying in Question Time today, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said: "First of all, all governments gather information and all governments know that every other government gathers information... the Australian government never comments on specific intelligence matters. This has been the long tradition of governments of both political persuasions and I don't intend to change that today." ..."
