WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has accused an Australian government agency of giving misleading evidence to a parliamentary inquiry.

In a submission dated September 24th to a Senate inquiry examining reform of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979, Assange said that representatives of the Office of the Inspector General of Intelligence and Security (IGIS) had misrepresented the "standard operating procedures" among the Five Eyes intelligence sharing alliance, which comprises Australia, US, UK, Canada, and New Zealand.
