                                                                                                                                         CHINESE mining officials are surprised when they learn that they do not need to bribe Australian officials to secure mining projects in this country, a former Australian senator has privately told international security intelligence service Stratfor.                                                               
                        
                                Leaked emails from Stratfor, published yesterday by WikiLeaks, reveal that an unnamed former senator, dubbed "source CN65", made the claim to a Stratfor intelligence analyst in June 2010.
WikiLeaks is publishing more than five million leaked emails from Stratfor between 2004 and last year, including, it claims, potentially sensitive off-the-record correspondence between Stratfor and US defence and intelligence officials. Stratfor provides daily intelligence, security and financial briefings to clients, including the Australian Defence Force, which has an annual subscription to help it keep abreast of military developments in other countries. The company uses methods similar to intelligence agencies: for example, collecting information from sources, as well as so-called "open sources" such as newspapers.

According to the leaked Stratfor assessment, the former Australian senator described China's mining sector as deeply corrupt.
"Where foreign companies do get access to tenements, they always seem to lose out because the mining sector in China is one of the most corrupt sectors of all," Stratfor says, paraphrasing the words of the former senator.
The former senator is then alleged to have said: "Ironically, this corruption is one of the impediments to Chinese interests not having accumulated even greater stakes in the resources sector in Australia.
"They simply cannot get it in their heads that the rule of law applies to mining projects in Australia. They refuse to believe that they have a right to receive a mining lease subject only to complying with relevant environmental permitting conditions. They think you have no credibility unless you tell them that you need to bribe someone."
Stratfor described the former senator as "well-connected politically, militarily and economically".
"He has become a private businessman helping foreign companies with merger and acquisitions," it said.
Millionaire politician Malcolm Turnbull, billionaire businessman David Smorgon and veteran journalist Sam Lipski are among more than 300 Australian subscribers to the US-based Stratfor who have had their credit card and other personal details published on the internet.
WikiLeaks has not revealed how it acquired its latest cache of private documents.
Stratfor was the victim of a mass hacking attack by Anonymous, the group of so-called "hacktivists" who target politically sensitive subjects, in December last year.
Wired magazine quoted sources from Anonymous saying the hacking group was considering partnering with WikiLeaks for future hacking attacks, apparently with the view to exploiting WikiLeaks' distribution methods and partnership arrangements with the media.
