It has emerged the Jakarta embassy may have been used to intercept phone calls and gather information. Indonesia's foreign minister Marty Natalegawa is deeply concerned about the spying allegations, which he says are "just not cricket". Dr Natalegawa was speaking in Perth while attending a regional conference, where security has been heightened after the discovery of volatile explosives in a waterway south of the city. The Indonesian government summoned Australia's ambassador to Indonesia, Greg Moriarty, to provide further explanation today.

The Gonski reforms - in those states lucky enough to have signed up - may start to do some of the rebalancing required. A start would be fully-funded transition officers in the neediest schools to actively help disadvantaged kids go from school to work or vocational training.

NewsMail Morning Edition Fri 01 Nov, 2013 Top Stories More Top Stories » Indonesia summons Australian ambassador over spying reports By Indonesia correspondent George Roberts Indonesia has summoned Australian ambassador Greg Moriarty to answer allegations Australia used its Jakarta embassy as a spy base. The Indonesian foreign ministry has issued a statement demanding clarification of media reports that Australia used the embassy to collect intelligence on Indonesia, a country of growing regional and economic importance. The Fairfax media reports, quoting an unnamed former intelligence officer, allege Australia used the embassy to spy on terrorists and people smugglers. However, the main focus of the alleged intelligence operations was said to be "political, diplomatic and economic intelligence" gathering. The Indonesian foreign ministry said surveillance would be "considered a serious breach of security which cannot be accepted".
