    A Double Agent Down Under: Australian Security and the Infiltration of the Left This is the Published version of the following publication Deery, Phillip (2007) A Double Agent Down Under: Australian Security and the Infiltration of the Left. Intelligence and National Security, 22 (3). pp. 346-366. ISSN 0268-4527 (Print); 1743-9019 (Online) The publisher’s official version can be found at Note that access to this version may require subscription. Downloaded from VU Research Repository https://vuir.vu.edu.au/15470/ A Double Agent Down Under: Australian Security and the Infiltration of the Left PHILLIP DEERY Because of its clandestine character, the world of the undercover agent has remained murky. This article attempts to illuminate this shadowy feature of intelligence operations. It examines the activities of one double agent, the Czech-born Maximilian Wechsler, who successfully infiltrated two socialist organizations, in the early 1970s. Wechsler was engaged by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. However, he was ‘unreliable’: he came in from the cold and went public. The article uses his exposés to recreate his undercover role. It seeks to throw some light on the recruitment methods of ASIO, on the techniques of infiltration, on the relationship between ASIO and the Liberal Party during a period of political volatility in Australia, and on the contradictory position of the Labor Government towards the security services. In the post-Cold War period the role of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) no longer arouses the visceral hostility it once did from the Left. The collapse of communism found ASIO in search of a new raison d’étre.

  • The Brisbane Line: an Episode in Capital History
    The Brisbane Line: An episode in capital history Drew Cottle The Dominant Views of the Brisbane Line The Brisbane Line remains one of the enigmas of Australian history. It is seen either as a military plan drawn up in 1908 to defend Australia from a possible Japanese invasion, or in terms of the unfounded allegations by Labor’s Eddie Ward against the defeatism of the first Menzies government to boost the Curtin government’s chances in the 1943 federal election. In a fading popular memory the Brisbane Line is recalled as scenes of panic and flight by North Queenslanders fleeing south in fear of a Japanese invasion. In his recent detailed study of the Brisbane Line, Paul Burns concluded that there was a plan to evacuate Australia north of a military line drawn from Brisbane to Adelaide and to defend that part of populated industrialised Australia south of the line from enemy attack. Burns saw Ward’s charges of treachery as an electoral stunt without substance.1 It might be presumed that the Brisbane Line enigma is no more. The Burns interpretation has seemingly utilised every available archival source on the topic. But Burns’ conclusion is narrow and empirically limited. Like other studies of the Brisbane Line, the Burns view is bereft of historical context, class analysis and of dependent Australian capitalism’s place both within the inter-imperialist rivalries of the inter-war period and the political economy of empire. Taken together these elements allow the Brisbane Line to be re-examined as a neglected episode of capital history.
