Govt accidentally revealed to ME the gender of the ‘spy’ I cross-examined in a Govt initiated #FOI appeal. Now they’re arguing (with your $$$) national security will be in peril if YOU know if the spy is a man or a woman🤦♂️. @albomp.bsky.social’s Govt’s gone secrecy mad! #auspol

Government's costly efforts to keep secret the gender identity of an Aussie spy, keeps it at 1 person in 18 million. What's the scam?

One of the 60 neo-Nazis who attended the National Socialist Network rally in Sydney has only lived in Australia for three years.
He's a civil engineer with Aurecon, likely on a skilled visa requiring employer sponsorship.
