Indonesia-Australia Relations The Worst in Over a Decade Amid Spying Claims

Indonesia has frozen military co-operation with Australia amid claims its neighbour tried to eavesdrop on the mobile phone conversations of top Indonesian officials.

It follows increasingly tense exchanges between the countries since Tony Abbott became Australian Prime Minister in September.
