Australia's reputation abroad is at risk until the identity of a 'traitor' former politician is revealed, a former federal minister has argued.

On Wednesday, ASIO director-general Mike Burgess said that an "A-team" of foreign spies had targeted Australians, including a former politician who then "sold out Australia".
Burgess said the person in question was no longer an active threat and had been "neutralised". "They're not doing it now, they're not breaking the law," he told reporters and intelligence community officials at his annual address. "If we see them go active again, I can guarantee they'll get caught.
