There was a confusing about-face at the time with the Australian government and Singapore's investment in AN.

Snippets of information emerged of Singaporian military and industrial espionage against Australia at around the timeframe we are discussing.

They were caught red handed spying against a army signals and electronic warfare facility. And commercially, it never came out. But there was significant backlash against Singapore from the top echelons of Australian business.

And then it all went quiet. The Singaporians lost a billion dollars.
