It is illegal for ASIO to act outside Australia. You may mean ASIS, which is our foreign intelligence gathering service. They were directed by the Howard government to conduct the surveillance against the Timor government. It was conducted successfully and the Timorese never know about it until a whistleblower blew the deal. ASIS simply did what the government ordered. I have no idea why you would blame ASIO.
