Between Two Nerds: The ethical rules of espionage

Presented by

In this edition of Between Two Nerds Tom Uren and The Grugq discuss reader feedback about whether the Five Eyes engage in economic espionage and look at allegations that Australia spied on the East Timorese government to get an edge in negotiations regarding an oil and gas negotiation. In various hypothetical scenarios we examine the ethics of the situation and what would have to change for that spying to be morally justified.
