ASIO's 'official history' : more unanswered questions

The Secret Cold War, Volume 3 of the official history of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), leaves many unanswered questions, particularly about the 1978 Sydney Hilton Hotel bombing and the ongoing lawlessness of ASIO’s activities. These questions undermine the central claim of Volume 3, that ASIO has become a reformed and accountable agency, shedding the notorious record of politically motivated surveillance, victimisation, harassment and ‘dirty tricks’ that the agency acquired in its first quarter century.
