ASIS

ASIS is the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, which is one of 2 spy networks in Australia, and works alongside the much more well known ASIO. ASIS is concerned primarily with spying on other countries in relation to foreign interests. In recent years, in the wake of 9/11 and related matters, ASIS has had more work to do as they are now involved in spying in Indonesia (in relation to the Bali bombing as well as in relation to general terrorism and any hints of an invasion of Australia), Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor (obviously in relation to Indonesia), Saudi Arabia and many other countries around the world. Today they probably receive more funding than ASIO, although they are less well known.
