Indonesia demands clarity on spy claims Indonesia's accusations unsettling: Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Marty Natalegawa. Suggestions that Australian intelligence services had spied on Indonesian politicians were "not cricket" and Jakarta wanted an explanation, Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Marty Natalegawa said in Perth on Friday. On Friday, the Indonesian government demanded clarification of any suggestion Australia's embassy in Jakarta was used to tap into the phone conversations of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono or other high-ranking officials. Australia's ambassador to Jakarta, Greg Moriarty, was summoned to the Indonesian Foreign Ministry to explain. Fairfax Media this week revealed Australian embassies, including in Jakarta, and high commissions across Asia were being used to secretly intercept phone calls and data as part of a US-led global spying network. Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop, who was also in Perth hosting a regional meeting attended by her Indonesian counterpart, confirmed that Dr Natalegawa had raised his concerns with her and that she was taking them seriously. But some Asian diplomats in Canberra privately expressed concerns that Australia might be spying on their governments at the request of Washington. "This is not the mark of a good friend or a leader in this region," said one high-ranking diplomat who asked not to be named. Australia should be above that. Another Asian diplomat in Canberra warned that Australia would be "treated with a degree of suspicion" if it was found to be spying on its neighbours. Another senior diplomat said the issue, if not resolved quickly, could "strain relations" between Australia and other nations in the Asia-Pacific region.
