โ๏ธTwo more Chinese nationals have been charged for allegedly covertly gathering information on a Canberra Buddhist group to send back to China.
The pair were arrested in Canberra this morning, and are the fourth and fifth people to be charged under foreign interference laws introduced in 2018.
Police said the alleged spying was on behalf of a Public Security Bureau in China.
The arrests stemmed from intelligence the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) gave to the AFP and Counter Foreign Interference Taskforce last year.
The charge of reckless foreign interference carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in jail.

โ๏ธFootage of a NSW Police officer throwing keffiyeh seized from protestors in the bin is causing outrage around the world.
The keffiyeh became a symbol of national unity during the 1930s Arab Revolt against British colonial rule and later became synonymous with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
The keffiyeh is often worn during demonstrations to signify opposition to occupation and support for Palestinian freedom.

102 deputies voted against it, and 77 voted in favor.
In the draft request, 17 deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the "Fair Russia" factions stated that they are receiving "numerous appeals" due to the slowdown of Telegram.
Telegram has become a "convenient and familiar" means of communication for Russians, a large number of channels "conduct necessary informational and practical work", and Telegram is used by soldiers in the Special Miliatry Operation the declaration reads.
