Abstract
- For many years, Australia's internal securtity agency, ASIO, ran security checks on potential and actual ABC staff and monitored ABC radio and TV broadcasts, noting examples of left-wing influence. This was done with the cooperation of ABC senior management and the encouragement of the conservative federal government. These facts, long suspected, are now confirmed by the use of recently released archives which give specific instances of security surveillance and vetting.
