Hanson-Young adopts title of The Raven

Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has embraced her spy-created nickname The Raven by adopting it as her Twitter name.

A former contractor to Wilson Security claims employees at the Australian-run Nauru immigration detention centre spied on the senator during her recent visit to the island nation.

Senator Hanson-Young has taken the allegations in her stride, changing her Twitter name to the codeword spies used to identify her.
