Russian Diplomat Squats at Vetoed Embassy Site in Australia

A Russian diplomat has been protesting near Australia's parliament after the country decided to tear up the lease granted to Russia in 2008 to build a new embassy, citing national security grounds. Russia plans to challenge the move in the High Court, but it is unclear on what "constitutional grounds" it will do so. The planned embassy would sit only 400m from parliament, posing a spying risk, according to experts. Federal police are monitoring the man staking out the block of land, but cannot arrest him due to his diplomatic immunity.
