	Australian Secret Intelligence Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its Charter of December 15, 1954 described ASIS's role as 'to obtain and distribute secret intelligence, and to plan for and conduct special operations as may be required'.
		The exercise was to be a mock surveillance and hostage rescue of foreign intelligence officers.
		The agency primarily focuses on intelligence gathering in the Asia-Pacific region; it appears its primary focus is Indonesia, and in particular people-smuggling operations as well as the activities of Islamic militants in that region.

		As part of this, SIS' operations, and those of the national signals intelligence agency, GCHQ were placed on a statutory footing through the 1994 Intelligence Services Act.
		During the mid-1990s the British intelligence community was subjected to a comprehensive costing review by the Government, and as part of broader defence cut-backs SIS had its resources cut back 25% across the board and senior management was reduced by 40%.
		On May 6, 2004, it was announced that Sir Richard Dearlove was to be replaced as head of the SIS by John Scarlett, formerly chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee.

		The Australian Secret Intelligence Service - ASIS - is by necessity a shadowy organisation.
		It s here where ASIS officers do much of their paramilitary training- mastering the Service s complex coding and filing systems which are identical to those in the British Secret Service, how to survive an interrogation, how to disable or kill an enemy.
		There had been a couple of intelligence officers being recruited, but this was the first case of a bloc intelligence officer being recruited and run in place.

		The Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) is Australia's foreign intelligence agency, responsible for collecting foreign intelligence, undertaking counter-intelligence activities and cooperation with other intelligence agencies overseas.
		Its Charter of 15 December 1954 described ASIS's role as 'to obtain and distribute secret intelligence, and to plan for and conduct special operations as may be required'.
		On 21 August 1974, the Whitlam Government appointed Justice Robert Hope to conduct a Royal Commission into the structure of security and intelligence services, the nature and scope of the intelligence required and the machinery for ministerial control, direction and coordination of the security services.

	Intelligence: ASIS = Australian Secret Intelligence Service
		Although its primary function was the collection of foreign intelligence, it was also required, as a result of decisions taken by the Fraser government and continued by their successors, to maintain a 'covert action capability'.
		The mechanisms of oversight and accountability for Australian security intelligence agencies which were inherited by the Hawke government when it came to power in March 1983 soon proved to be embarrassingly inadequate.
		Executive oversight for intelligence activities is assisted by the Office of Management and Budget, and by the Intelligence Oversight Board, a panel of private citizens charged with monitoring, through the inspectors-general of the various agencies, the legality and propriety of intelligence activities.

	Australian Secret Intelligence Service - Australian Intelligence Agencies
		After the war, Sir Charles Spry, the head of Australian Military Intelligence, and several other individuals in the Australian Government felt there was a need for an Australian post-war intelligence service.
		The organization was divided into two sections, the first was the ASIS (Australian Secret Intelligence Service), responsible for the garnering of intelligence, and for foreign operations abroad.
		As a result, all future major intelligence operations required the consent of the Prime Minister, and a cabinet level committee was formed to oversee all ASIO activities, the equivalent of the American Senate committee on intelligence oversight.

	Puppet-master now pulling the strings at ASIS - theage.com.au
		Although the secret service operates as a subsidiary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, reporting to the foreign minister, it is a new field for Irvine.
		Under the outgoing ASIS director-general, Allan Taylor, the service was decisively stripped of covert paramilitary activity, which stays with the army special forces and counter-terrorist units.
		Keeping up relationships with the heads of these agencies and occasionally conducting secret diplomacy through them is very much part of the job for the ASIS director-general, along with running his eclectically skilled staff and keeping them within bounds.

	Australian Secret Intelligence Organization - History
		As recent intelligence historians have discovered much of that impetus for the establishment of ASIO came from the American and British governments.
		Concomitantly, the organization was divided into two sections, the first was the ASIS (Australian Secret Intelligence Service), responsible for the garnering of intelligence, and for foreign operations abroad which was made responsible to the Ministry for External Affairs.
		As a result, all future major intelligence operations required the consent of the Prime Minister, and a cabinet level committee was formed to oversee all intelligence activities: the equivalent of the U.S. Senate committee on intelligence oversight.

		Its first director was Sir Mansfield Smith-Cumming, who, often dropping the "Smith", used his initial "C" as a code name which was also used by all subsequent directors of SIS (compare with "M" in the James Bond stories).
		After a series of meetings between SIS agents and the 'conspirators' at which SS plans to abduct the SIS team were shelved due to the presence of Dutch police, a meeting took place without a police presence, and two SIS agents were duly abducted by the SS.
		In this capacity he compromised a programme of joint US-UK paramilitary operations in Enver Hoxha's Albania (although it has been shown that these operations were further compromised 'on the ground' by poor security discipline amongst the Albanian emigrés recruited to undertake the operations).

	Tim Blair: TOO QUICK OFF THE MARK
		Australia's intelligence agencies have been hauled into the furious political debate over Labor's plan to withdraw troops from Iraq, appearing to dispute Mark Latham's claim that he had received lengthy briefings on the issue before the decision.
		You may argue that the "centre" of the US is different to the centre of Australian politics or French politics or Saudia Arabian politics but for gods sake thats the nitpickingingst thing ive ever seen.
		The so called "lengthy discussions" Latham had in relation to Iraq boils down to "several examples of the role of intelligence in providing operational support to the ADF in Iraq and in other deployments such as Afghanistan" which is what the head of defense intelligence says was all that was said about Iraq.
