The Aussie government listens to conversations from the USA, is that right? Every country has there own agency for listening to foriegn nations. I will say that is illiegal in the USA to listen to freindly nations communication. So we get Japan to listen to Taiwan and Taiwan to listen to the Aussies and so on. That is just the way the world works.
