Summary Note "No one is better qualified to deal with Australia's premier domestic nosey parker than Michael Tubbs, one of the few barristers who took the fight up to ASIO by appearing for clients who had fallen foul of its powers. Tubbs has had access, in his own words, 'to more ASIO files than most ASIO operatives would have seen in their careers', some dating back to the late 1940s. With penetrating analysis, Tubbs confronts ASIO with its own documents to show that it is not what it has represented itself as over all these years. He exposes the illegality of its formation and the political intent of it activities, and even reveals the documents that gave rise to the sensational Petrov Royal Commission in 1954. No punches are pulled as Tubbs tries to deliver the knock-out blow to ASIO and put it out of business. If you want to know how ASIO's national network of political spies have surreptitiously and manipulatively affected Australia's free society and changed its political landscape, you need to read this book." - Back cover.
