Australia faced China's inteference and has been far more direct in its response to Beijing. The head of Australia's intelligence service talked of having expelled "a hive of spies" from the country. Meanwhile Australia's former trade minister immediately after leaving government service accepted an $880k job working for a Chinese billionaire with ties to the Beijing government. 
Our guest is quoted as saying "I don't have confidence that when it comes to sensitive investigations involving China that could possibly drag in the political elite in this country, the government really has an interest in getting these types of investigations over the line."

Fellow in Security and Defence at the MacDonald Laurier Institute. Regularly called on as expert witness by parliamentary committees. Author: Intelligence as Democratic Statecraft.
