The article then goes into detail about how *Zhang's* electronic devices were searched on numerous occasions. 

And yet the article continues: "Mr Zhang argues the search warrants may have been unlawful because the communications of diplomatic officials and their families are "inviolable" to Australian authorities under Australian and international law." 

We can safely assume that Zhang is *not* arguing that he is himself a member of a PRC diplomatic or consular mission. So what does that leave?

Zhang's messages *to* the diplomatic missions plainly do not emanate *from* any PRC diplomatic mission.  Nor does it appear that they were obtained from the archives of any PRC diplomatic mission (which would be a clear breach of PIL on mission inviolability).

Elieen Denza's commentary on the VCDR and the process that led to its conclusion strongly suggests that "official correspondence" is confined to correspondence between the mission and other authorities of the *sending State* (in this case the PRC).

(Denza, who used to advise the UK FCO, is acknowledged as an authority on diplomatic and consular relations.)

Again, I have to assume that Zhang - the NSW Parliamentary staffer - is *not* arguing that he was acting in any official capacity *on behalf of the PRC*.

In the circumstances, I must confess I find Zhang's argument - if the news article describes it correctly - to be deeply baffling.

I mean for his sake Zhang better not be arguing he’s a PRC official because that’s what the legal case against him is all about.

Don’t see why I had to see this on twitter and not like, part of a statement from AFP or the home department. Dutton’s apparently more interested in making ominous comments about “presenting slanted views” than defending his ministry, and Australia, against accusations of serious wrongdoing
