"WHY: Australia Advised its MPs & Ministers to carry BURNER PHONE while Travelling to India" "Members of Australia's parliament have been advised to carry burner phones when they visit India, Seven's *The Nightly* website reports. The advice, from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, comes in the wake of reports that "a nest of Indian spies" was expelled <https://johnmenadue.com/indian-spies-expelled-from-australia-in-2021-abc-report/> from Australia in 2020. Burner phones are cheap devices that are used by people who do not want to be tracked. They are used by drug dealers, among others, and are often thrown away after being used just once. India has long been considered as a friendly nation by Australia, but in recent months the subcontinental giant has shown that it has designs well beyond its own borders." *"The Nightly* quoted Ian Hall, a professor of International Relations at Griffith University and an India expert, as saying he hoped the change would lead to a more realistic foreign policy. 'This revised advice reflects unhappiness about India’s recent actions and New Delhi’s responses to Canadian and US requests for explanations and for accountability,' he said.' 'I hope it also moves us away from some of the over-exuberant language we’ve seen in recent years to a more calibrated, interests-driven India policy.'” Source: https://itwire.com/it-industry-news/strategy/australian-mps-advised-to-carry-burner-phones-when-visiting-india.html , May 10, 2024.
