Mark Binskin & Duncan Lewis have forsaken tried,tested and evolving ADF PSYOP , HUMINT capabilities for the likes of Anne Aly, Greg Barton ,Mona Shindy etc

When this is over, it will be asked what was different about this operation from others. One of those things will be that we conducted information operations. General Peter Cosgrove, AC, MC


While the Chief Of Defence Forces Air Marshall  Mark Binskin looks to Captain Mona Shindy for wisdom in dealing with jihadis ,and ASIO chief Major General (Ret) Duncan Lewis spouts the words "terrorism experts" Anne Aly and Greg Barton, both men seem to have dismissed the Australian Defence Forces tried, tested and evolving psychological operations (PSYOP) and Human Intelligence (HUMINT) capabilities.

As General Sir Peter Cosgrove suggests, these capabilities have been tried and tested successfully, in at least  the Timor conflict.

Copied and pasted here is some literature on the ADF's PSYOP and HUMINT capabilities.

Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) within the AustralianIntelligence Corps: Should it Stay or Should it Go? by Warrant Officer Class Two Dallas Sharp

Australian Defence Force classified propaganda doctrine: Information Operations Planning Manual, 20 Jun 2001 (see also  https://file.wikileaks.org/file/aus-io-panning-manual-2001.pdf)

While the last example is of British operations in Malaya, Australian Army ,Air Force and Navy were actively involved.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE
