Australia has blocked Russia from building a new embassy on a parcel of land near the Australian Parliament.
A MYSTERIOUS RUSSIAN diplomat has sparked a national security standoff between Australia and the Kremlin, defying his host country;s efforts to kick him off a messy building site near parliament.
Last week, Australia passed laws specifically drafted to stop the development, which sits about 400 metres away from the parliamentary precinct. With an envoy firmly ensconced inside the cosy portacabin yesterday afternoon, the Russian embassy launched a last-ditch legal bid to halt his eviction. ‘Russophobic hysteria’ Government sources have confirmed the man has diplomatic protection, but AFP has been unable to match him with Russia’s official list of representatives in Australia.
