"Australian intelligence has revealed a retired politician was recruited by an international spy ring, and in one plot attempted to introduce a prime minister's family to their foreign handlers.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation's boss Mike Burgess said the politician had "sold out their country, party and former colleagues to advance the interests of the foreign regime"."

Who is the ex-politician in question?

This question will resolve if there is credible evidence in reputable Australian news outlets by the end of the year.
