Australian Broadcasting Corporation report quoted Indonesian coordinating minister for politics, law and security Djoko Suyanto, who said he wanted an explanation from Australia “within two days”.
In a national TV appearance seeking explanation, he said, “The problem is that I haven't received any explanation from the Australian Government relating to the news.”
That's what the Australian Government should explain, that's why it becomes a very important message to be explained by them. I can understand the dilemma faced by Tony Abbott because the tapping happened in 2009, not during his administration,” he said adding all cooperation with Australia were now under review.
Mr. Abbott who was asked in Parliament on Monday about the claims of spying, said all countries gather intelligence.
