Regardless, false anaLOGOS/HA HA or not?
bLOGOS/HA HA watched with interest Friday's Senate Inquiry : Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee - Public interest immunity claim.
Although not required to do so, the Minister for Border Protection chose to attend.
We were particularly engaged by the following line of questioning from Senator Hanson-Young
Regarding 1. : 'Operation Sovereign Borders' (Govt)
Regarding 2. : 'Border Security' (Ch. 7)

Senator HANSON-YOUNG: My next question is to Customs. There was a comparison that the minister used just now about other operations which Customs are involved in that they would not want publicised. Do you as the secretary of Customs have to approve activities in relation to the Channel 7 show Border Security?
You can read the initial response to this question here, on page 30 of the Hansard record. Next, a little further into this :Mr Pezzullo: We collaborate with the Channel 7 group of companies on Border Security. I am not—
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: Regardless,
you have just admitted to having a deal with one television show where they are allowed to have access to border—
Mr Bowles: I do not think it is an admission.
Mr Pezzullo: We have an arrangement with Channel 7. I am not aware—I will just quickly check with my director of media. We have no arrangement with any other company that I am unaware of? Good—thank you. No, we do not.
Mr Morrison: Mr Pezzullo has also said that the techniques relating to law enforcement are edited and suppressed. But, as you know, what we are talking about here today goes well beyond just techniques. These are ongoing live operations that we are running here, and the telecasting of how our people may respond or not respond in particular situations, where they might do it and where they might go—to provide a 'how to' guide to the smugglers, which is what these documents would reveal—I think would put those people at risk. I am still not clear what the alternative position would achieve that you seem to be promoting.
Mr Pezzullo: Indeed, Minister, if I can add a very specific example. This is a historically accurate example; I will need to slightly slide over some of the operational details. The equivalent would be, if we apply the analogy that I think your line of questioning is taking us to, having new, real-time vision of someone being nabbed. A cartel overseer back in Latin America—
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: I would like to interrupt you for a moment because I have not asked that and—
Mr Pezzullo: But is a direct analogy, if I may—
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: No, it is not a direct analogy.
Mr Pezzullo: and we would not want to tip them off.
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: Can I please finish?
Mr Pezzullo: Of course.
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: It is not a direct analogy because the documents asked for in this order for the production of documents for which public interest immunity is being claimed are from as far back as September.
Mr Pezzullo: And the second part of your
motion—
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: As far back as September. That was when the first—
Lt Gen. Campbell: If I might interject, that is not far back at all. That is very recent operational information.
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: I have just been told—you can correct this if you would like to correct the record—it was a few months. Could you clarify how long between when those recordings happened in the airport and when they go to air?
Mr Pezzullo: I will take advice.
Mr Morrison: You are comparing apples and oranges.
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: It is not live.
Mr Morrison: These are two different—
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: There are documents in here that we have asked for in relation to incidents that occurred months ago and we are still being told we are not allowed to have them, despite the fact that pages and pages of information has come out from other sources in relation to those incidents. We still have received no acknowledgement from the government, such as in relation to the case where a boat had its hull ripped out because of an operation on the water. We still have not had any information from either the minister or Angus Campbell in relation to this. That happened months ago—and if that was not a serious enough event to clarify with the Australian people what was going on then what is?
Mr MORRISON: You have raised a number of issues there, if I could respond. First of all, your comparison between things happening at our airports and the safeguards put in place by Customs and Border Protection to protect the integrity—
Senator HANSON-YOUNG: I am asking what difference—
Mr MORRISON: Senator, if you will let me respond. The integrity of those techniques and so on are protected, as shown by the evidence that has been provided to you. To draw an analogy between that and what we are doing with Operation Sovereign Borders would be false—and I think that is the evidence that has been provided to you. In terms of time frames and Operation Sovereign Borders—a very new operation—as General Campbell has just said, disclosing the sort of information you are seeking would provide the how-to guide. It is very recent information in the context of that operation.
You also make reference to the fact that other reporters are out there reporting things. That is of no surprise to the government at all. What is different about the government choosing to confirm, or to not confirm, any particular matter that relates to operations carries greater weight in terms of how smugglers might use that information. We understand that and know that to be the case. So it does not surprise us that journalists and others will go and write stories: it is a free country; they can and should do so—they are doing their job. We do not have an issue with that. The question before us is: what is the government going to officially confirm or officially comment on. And the operational commanders of this initiative have advised that disclosing that information puts people at risk, and that is why we are not going to do it.

"Well, I would say the aim of art is a constant, and a continuous job to reveal visually the attitude of our mentality. And the less we disturb the influence of our mentality the more I believe we come close to the truth. And therefore the last 15-20 years in which everyone tried to be different from everyone else with the result that in their work, they all look alike, there is an artificial and not true relationship because honesty and modesty are forgotten. The more eccentric one behaved the more he was considered a personality. On the other hand, the, more you obey your constitutional inclinations, your constitutional preferences and prejudices, the more you are yourself. You have not to force so-called individuality. You have to avoid everything that makes you a Wagnerian blowing up your gestures, blowing up your verbal formulations. Therefore I recommend simplicity because it is honest against all over-dramatization."
- Josef Albers

This same TAR torero troupe recently presented an Australia Day action in Vienna :
'Blood on the Wattle', after the poem by Henry Lawson, 'Freedom on the Wallaby'. It ends...
So we must fly a rebel flag,
As others did before us,
And we must sing a rebel song
And join in rebel chorus.
We'll make the tyrants feel the sting
O' those that they would throttle;
They needn't say the fault is ours
If blood should stain the wattle!
Not surprisingly, in that old nest of Actionists, they were very well received. They got as good as they gave.
For this event, there was just one cape :
Wattle Yellow Monochrome!
It didn't take long for the fyrest 'bull' to charge head-first out of the pack. Ooooooooooh!
Toro!

Before returning to Oz, the troupe accepted an invitation to share their muleta pass and non-pass practice with some young French toreador apprentices in the ring at Garons, near Nimes.
