| Twelve Australian Federal Police officers have been expelled from Vanuatu amid an escalating diplomatic feud.
On Tuesday the Vanuatu government threatened to arrest all AFP officers in the capital Port Vila following the arrest in Sydney of a senior aide to the nation’s prime minister.
Vanuatu’s Foreign Minister, Alfred Carlot, issued a statement yesterday that gave the AFP 24 hours to close its liaison office otherwise officers would face arrest for failing to "take into account the decision of the Vanuatu government".
The AFP charged senior public servant Clarence Marae, 51, in Sydney on April 27 while he was travelling with the Prime Minister, Sato Kilman, en route to Israel for a state visit.
He was charged with conspiring to defraud the Commonwealth, was moved to Brisbane and is set to reappear at Magistrates Court on May 16.
