ASIO - 62 years of Australia spying on its own people

Featured on ABC's 7.30 Report on June 17, 2011, this report by Greg Miskelly tracks the history of ASIO, spying on an extraordinary number of Australians who became 'persons of interest' because of their political views or associations. Father Dave (http://www.fatherdave.org) reflects on the far-reaching powers of ASIO such that they can now judge, try and execute people like his friend, Sheikh Mansour Leghaei, that they deem to be 'security risks' without ever having to give reasons for their assessment or in any way justify it!

This cheap nasty little number betrays everybody who has served Australia/ASIO. We were not a bunch of right wing jackbooted fascist thugs–in fact we represented population demographics. Never mentioned in these little gems is that the ABC and other media continually portray Communists and CPA members as being harmless and slightly out of the political mainstream. McKnight himself is a former communist and I have yet to see him acknowledge that the CPA had death lists to assist the KGB.

Here we go again, focusing on the negative outcomes of an agency and and not the positives, the fact is we would be living in fear without agencies like ASIO, nuff said.

As an American, & a political activist, all of my adult life, this sounds all too familiar to me.
