Waxing, waning and royal illusions:
"Given the revelations on Four Corners that a people-smuggling kingpin allegedly disguised himself as a refugee and travelled by boat to Christmas Island - only to fool authorities and begin direct smuggling ventures from suburban Canberra (just down the road from the headquarters of the Australian Federal Police) - one must ponder not just the deficiencies of the AFP but also the intelligence gathering of ASIO. This security service is about to be examined by the High Court over its extraordinary powers to indefinitely detain genuine refugees without any adequate explanation. Clearly these two agencies need to be put under the microscope."
