They were set up in the Cold War years to monitor a small number of soviet and Chinese spies and a handful of weirdos.
They now have to monitor an unknown fraction of over a million Australian Muslims who take the religious call to jihad seriously. Monitoring the ISIS brides and their children for the next 40 years is a huge task, The 3,000 Gazans to be monitored, mosques, Imams, foreign travel, ISIS etc its huge.
But worse still is to have to do this under the supervision of traitor politicians who would betray Australia for political advantage. Many will not remember the “Murphy Raids” of 1973 when the Attorney General, Lionel Murphy, used his authority to break down the doors of ASIO in Melbourne to get at its files. The subsequent inquiry into his actions was “discontinued”.
This isn’t a Labour versus Liberal issue. It was Mr Fraser who gave us the Lebanese criminals running your local “tobacconist”. ASIO is now under the control of Wong, Burke and Albanese, elderly undergraduates still cheering for the PLO. How can ASIO protect us with these people looking over their shoulder and holding them back.
The only answer is at the ballot box. Susan Ley led a “friends of Palestine” group until she recently changed her mind. Hardly the moral fiber we need for the job. The ALP have shown their fiber through Wong. Burke and Albanese.
ASIO must report to someone, we must be careful to elect leaders who we can trust. Its not Albanese or Ley.
