Description:Australia is actively engaged in the War on Terror. The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service and the Australian Federal Police have expanded rapidly in size, and their powers have been enhanced by counter-terrorism legislation. Frank Cain argues that these agencies were significantly politicised under the Howard government, though not for the first time. This book also traces the history of the intelligence agencies in Australia and their use by anti-Labour governments against the broad left. In World War I, the nationalist leader Billy Hughes deployed military intelligence against opponents of his war policy. Before and after World War II, Robert Menzies did so in taking steps to counter the activities of the Communist Party. Cain explores the contentious notion that Australia's surveillance agencies have today become adoptive allies of the Liberal Party.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
