East Timor is reviving its attempt to nullify a multi-billion-dollar oil and gas treaty with Australia on the grounds Australia spied on Timorese officials during the treaty negotiations in 2004. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has described the move as disappointing and said the Government believed differences between the two nations were best resolved through negotiation and consultation.
