With contributions from a number of prominent intelligence, security, and legal experts such as Michael Mori, Ben Saul, Anne Aly, and Peter Leahy, this examination lays bare the facts about spying and security in post-9/11 Australia. Compelling chapters cut through the panic and fear-mongering to ask hard questions such as Is the Australian Security Intelligence Organization unaccountable? Is the money spent on security reaping dividends? Is cyber-terrorism an urgent threat? Is WikiLeaks good for human rights? and Is privacy being traded for a false sense of security? Spooked untangles the half-truths, conspiracy theories, and controversies about the “war on terror” and proves a welcome antidote to misinformation and alarm.
