What spy
It was announced here in Oz today that we have or did have a spy in the gov.
According to our spy agency an ex poli was acting as a spy for another nation, suspected to be China.
The head of the agency says he knows who it is but will not say.
Gov say they will never reveal the name if found.
Just as well because if they cannot prove it our tax bill will go up again to pay the compensation.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: What spy
If the government is not going to do anything about it then the spy catcher should have kept quiet about it and used the info. And the so called spy to himself . Maybe it is to disperse suspicion on himself John . Any such suspicion should be followed up in the public eye .JS
Maybe his suspicions are based on some old copies of the Mad magazine and reading Black Spy versus White Spy which today would be unprintable as would be termed prejudiced JS.

Re: What spy
John.s
There is a by election on tomorrow, no reason why the so called spy catcher couldn't have waited until that was over,, but he is more than likely a Conservative kind of guy and the import was that the spy would be Labour. unfortunately the talk show on TV about it came up with the Name of a former Liberal minister, and he also tried to involve the son of the former Lib PM, lives in the rich part of Sydney.

Re: What spy
There was a case in uk years ago where a Grenville someone was picked up for spying in a satellite country, the newspapers made the most of it. He was a business man going about his normal duties and any spying was probably at the governments request. He was probably exchanged for a professional Russian spy later which one would not hear about via the newspapers. Beware of taking as genuine stories in newsprint and entitled Scoops. To find the truth you have to talk to the people involved the further you get away from the participants the closer you get to Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs. JS
And even her after they’ve fiddled with her hormones will have become a man and was really the eighth dwarf who refused to stay short. But as it turned he/she was gay anyway.JS

Re: What spy
John.
The PM and the leader of the opposition know the name, now if it was a Labour man Dutton wouldn't have been able to keep his big mouth shut, being just before a by-election. Clues within clues.

Re: What spy
hi john sabourn #4
good afternoon, Grenville Wynne the business man your refering to, i saw the film with benedict cumberbatch playing wynne, hard to believe he was actually one of the seven dwarfs before he became the business man caught spying for the uk and the fact that he was a tranny convert from snow white, by god lifes strange its hard to keep up with all these changes,
makes one wonder if the emu once spoken about in hushed tones on here some time ago was in some manner of dubious heritage, one can only speculate.
