A Double Agent in Cold War Australia

Submarine Matters is also interested in counterintelligence.

1. 
Below is a great article, with all the ingredients, about Russian spies and even a East European proxy, operating in Australia during the height of the Cold War. You will see Adelaide is mentioned. That article is “Spies, lies and hairdryers — the single mum who became a double agent in Cold War Australia” at ABC (Australia) News, August 12, 2020, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-12/spy-kay-marshall-intelligence-mystery-cold-war-australia/12531120 .   

2.  By coincidence see my 2019 article "Security Observations: Osborne Naval Shipyard & Edinburgh RAAF Base, Adelaide", June 9, 2019
https://gentleseas.blogspot.com/2019/06/osborne-naval-shipyard-adelaide-security.html which mentions "Hence, in response, predictable growth:...of course, harder to detect non-official-cover "illegals" (not only Russians and Australian "moles"."
