ASIO spied on Peter Garrett
Jun 9^th, 2012 at 2:48pm

Why doesn't ASIO send out apologies to all innocent people that they spied on?
How can someone singing a song be a threat to us?

What a waste of money & a gross invasion of privacy by our government.

A FORMER ASIO spy has revealed he was made to snoop on prominent Australians, including former ACTU chief Jennie George.

Thomas Shepherd said he believed that in the 1970s and '80s, ASIO compiled dossiers on hundreds of leading Australians, including Bob Hawke, Gough Whitlam and Peter Garrett.

He said the list of those being watched included judges, entertainers and business figures.

Asio has such a big budget and nowhere to spend it. They had to play the game. It was their expert work (bungling) that got Zaky Mallah and Dr Haneef arrested. They end up costing more in compensation than they're worth. Trouble is we just don't have a big enough market for it.

You do realise that this thread and forum will be monitored by ASIO lol

ASIO does a lot more than ppl think. They actually run the private prisons and probably the detention centres (they used to anyway not sure if it got handed over to another private company a few years ago). They do the security assessments on the refugees anyway. They arent just spies as the propaganda would have you believe.

Sounds exciting, but it's just another top heavy inefficient government department. They seem to get as much wrong as they get right.

But did someone at ASIO really think that Peter Garrett was part of an armed revolution?
If so they need to see a head shrinker.
They should have been sacked.

How much of my hard earned tax payer dollars is wasted by Govt. depts?
