MELBOURNE -- Australia is set for the biggest overhaul of its espionage laws in decades, after the country's main political parties agreed on changes to a controversial bill that has strained ties with China and raised civil liberties concerns.
The Espionage and Foreign Interference bill, introduced amid fears of Chinese meddling in Australia's democracy, is expected to be passed in parliament this week after the government and opposition earlier reached agreement on 60 proposed revisions to the law.
