THE Australian government has confirmed it will expel two Russian officials from the embassy over the poisoning of a former spy on British soil.

In a joint statement released today Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the diplomats will be expelled for actions inconsistent with their status.

The diplomats identified as “undeclared intelligence officers” have been given seven days to leave Australia.

“This decision reflects the shocking nature of the attack — the first offensive use of chemical weapons in Europe since World War II, involving a highly lethal substance in a populated area, endangering countless other members of the community,” the statement said.
