ASIO tales continued...

Robert Merkel over at Larvatus Prodeo last week took umbrage at Victoria's Security Intelligence Group and its domestic spying, after reading Baker and McKenzie's article on the same subject in The Age.

Richard Baker and Nick McKenzie nicknamed the undercover police intelligence operative "Andrew", as they went on to describe his dive into a pit of chicken excrement in pursuit of his spying goals.

Now I find that ASIO may also utilise the services of an "Andrew" and is so proud of him that he features in one of their digital recruitment adverts.

"Those who have made it through our recruitment process have a variety of life and work experience. From teachers, managers and lawyers through to psychologists, engineers and social workers, there's no set mould or magic formula – it's about you as a person.
Hear first hand from our IOs:

Andrew - 'Everyone finds working here rewarding'------

After I'd graduated I applied for a job with ASIO because I liked the diversity that the Intelligence Officer position offered.

The job seemed to demand both analytical and interpersonal skills, so I could get a good balance in my day-to-day work."

No mention of battery hens, but this "Andrew" did say that he's required to undertake a new posting every three years so (remembering his Victorian doppelganger) let's hope that the poor boy stays as far away from livestock as he can get.

Perhaps an assignment shadowing the Quilters Guild of NSW would be just the shot.

ASIO obligingly supplies an advertising agency audio of "Andrew" which hints that he may have hailed from the Indian sub-continent.

Oh goodness gracious me!! Boom Boody-Boom Boody-Boom Boody-Boom Boody-Boom Boody-Boom Boody-Boom-Boom-Boom.
