NSA Australia allies 'spied on US law firm' in Indonesia row
16 February 2014 Last updated at 07:42 ET
The 2013 document obtained by the New York Times does not identify the US law firm, but says the Australians offered the intercepts to their allies at the US National Security Agency (NSA).
Previous allegations of Australian spying on Indonesia has led to worsening ties.
The alleged documents have been leaked by ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Last month, Mr Snowden alleged that the NSA conducted industrial espionage.
