I would be probably stating the obvious here but all high commissions , consulates ,embassies would be spying on their host country so it should come as no surprise to the Australians that the Chinese Adelaide consulate would be spying on Australia. Australia has an embassy in Beijing. This is the way of the world.

true - but the Australians are choosing to make it a political incident rather than viewing it as business as usual.

Cannot work out why anybody would think this may be 'censored', after all, as already pointed out to
you, espionage is business as usual.
Try reading this book for some perspective;

This may have more geo political consequences than Aussie sheep bleating about spies.
