ASIO, like this government -and no doubt the next, whichever party will have the dance floor- simply waits for the Pentagon only so as to say, "yes sir, no sir, three bags of the bloody stuff sir." Like CIA and FBI it's another MacArthyist organisation. It's there, as you say FG, to spy on the publicly elected politicians. Terry Lane had an interview with its head probably two years ago and for the life of me -and it seemed of Terry- I couldn't work out their job description. The Combes "achievement" was pi ss weak, I thought. And yes, among other anigmas, I also would like to know what happened to Harry (Potter) Holt!
