The prosecution of whistleblowing former spy Witness K and his lawyer, Bernard Collaery, has now cost the Australian government $3.7m, new figures reveal.

The government’s external legal costs in connection with the high-profile cases have risen significantly since mid last year, when the tally was $2m.

The latest figures have prompted the independent senator Rex Patrick to describe the prosecution as “unjust” and “hugely costly”.
