Was he a spy who courted women in high places to gain access to top-secret intelligence, or a would-be Casanova who pestered his way around the Canberra social circuit? And was it Amir Laty's friendship with a senior Australian minister's daughter that prompted the expulsion of this Israeli diplomat and notorious party animal?

...
But government sources have hinted at darker motives behind his alleged womanising. Mr Laty is said to have cultivated liaisons with women in the Defence Department and the Department of Prime Minister and cabinet. The implication is that he was using the "honey-pot" method, feigning a love interest in the hope of picking up classified information that the US and Britain share with Australia.

There have also been suggestions of links with a spy scandal that led to two alleged Mossad agents, Uriel Kelman and Eli Cara, being jailed in New Zealand last year for passport fraud. Mr Laty visited the pair, who served three months before being deported. Relations between New Zealand and Israel remain strained, and the Prime Minister, Helen Clark, has refused to allow Mr Katsav to visit.

This guy i have been informed by my contacts in Oz government Foreign affairs was an out and out "Spy" who has been involved with the "Mossad" in obtaining passports for their "hit" teams. He has heavy links with the men "busted" in New Zealand - not just the two who spent time in the "slammer" but more importantly with the two guys who fled New Zealand, who were the head of the team, prior to New Zealand counter espionage teams "nabbing" them. I've been told that it was this guy who "tipped" the Mossad agents off that they were about to be "nicked"! However the two guys who were arrested couldn't get out legitimaly because they were already too deep in the operation as they were the front men. They were under full time counter espionage surveillance so had no chance of getting out! Interestingly the guy who lead the Mossad team fled to Cambodia where Oz intelligence agents have been tracking Mossad operatives since several OZ aid workers and tourists have been mysteriously disappearing or turning up out and out DEAD! without their passports! There is quite a large Oz aid worker contingent in Cambodia.
This Mossad spy in Oz has been traced to trying to seduce several Oz government female workers working in sensitive intelligence areas as well as including Government Minister Phillip Ruddocks daughter who by the way is "no beauty". Mr Ruddock believe it or not is Oz's Minister for Immigration!!!! ( i.e. Passport city!) This is Ruddocks younger daughter as his elder daughter is a left wing leaning activist who hates her dad because he is an extreme right-wing conservative. It is believed that she may have been the one who "tipped" off Oz counter intelligence about her younger sisters liasons. Minister Ruddock at the moment here in Oz is in "full cover up mode" declaring just today in Oz MSM sources that his daughter only met the Mossad guy once at an airport "baggage carousel"!! LOL.
However my sources tell me that Ruddock is completely "clean" on this issue and its just embarrasing for him -therefore the cover up!
What is making this issue more and more interesting however is the revelations of this mossad spy's replacement here in Oz and the developing passport links with activity out of Lebanon since Hariri was "blown up". I can talk about the Israeli Embassy replacement but iv'e been asked not to talk at all about the Hariri stuff. One it may not be safe to make judgements on what Oz counter espionage knows at this stage, but two they really really want to "nail" these people. They are also getting excellent intel on how Mossad operates and how the Lebanese Maronite "building developers mafia" works and its connections to Mossad agents both here in Oz and in the Middle East. Its an extremely "gutsy" investigative journalist's wet dream iv'e been told - Sources words not mine! Possible links to the Pentagon! It is believed that the explosives used were manufacured in the US!
Amir Laty's replacement here in Oz is a guy called Scher. Wanted by Brazilian authorities for running a lucrative "child porn" procurement network in Brazil when he was attached to the Israeli Embassy in Brazil. He quickly left Brazil under Diplomatic immunity when Brazilian authorities started closing the "net" on him and his cronies. I have had this confirmed by my mate in the British consulate in Bogota just yesterday. Oz federal police intend to keep this guy under full surveillance, as "Kiddie Porn" is regarded here in Oz as probably the most despicable crime a human can be involved in. If he trys it here, they intend to "get him"!

I remember there was David Wilson a few years back, but that was apparently by Khmer Rouge guy.

Australian politicians are by nature rather naiive and foolish. This is the second time Ruddock has been linked to a dubious character. Remember when he accepted a $10,000 dollar donation from Dante Tan (the most wanted man in the Phillippines) and then gave him a visa?

I'd love to know what Frank Lowy's current links to the MOSSAD are. I've always wondered if he knew something was going to happen which made him take over the WTC only a couple of months before 9/11.
`

Frank Lowy is "smelly" but he's a Soccer nut like myself. My father actually knows him personally as well as the "Cardboard" king Dicky Pratt. Pratt's company Vizyboard has been heavily involved with anti-competitve strategies in this industry with AMCOR. Amcor sacked some of its highest execs on this issue after Oz security authorities got "wind" of what was actually going on. However Pratt's company is "Private" so what the authorities asked them to do is currently "unknown"!!! to the MSM.
I really don't want to "rag" Frank Lowy, even though he has his finger in a lot of "stinking" deals around Oz and the world. E.G. Orangegrove shopping Centre in Sydney is an interesting one!!! Made life difficult for Mark Latham?
But he loves Soccer and anyone that is prepared to "bankroll" Oz soccer to rise to its "true" position in the Oz sporting culture as well as get us fucking finally into the bloody "World Cup" is a friend of mine, no matter what he's done in his past and is involved in now!

I agree!!!
