I'm going to be at a conference session with David Irvine and am trying to think of the best question to ask...
-
-
@BernardKeane oh that's a good one. I'll put it in. The session is on the balance bw freedom and protection from terror -
@Lizzie_OShea he can''t refuse to answer on the basis that it's an operational matter - it's a process and governance question -
@BernardKeane oh but I am sure he will :/

@BernardKeane so was think something like: why does exec govt/intel agencies show such contempt for accountability and transparency etc -
@Lizzie_OShea he'll just say "we don't" and list all the committee appearances he's made -
@BernardKeane that's the problem with questions - may as well use them just to implicitly express an opinion -
@Lizzie_OShea maybe ask him if he agrees with John brennan that the war on terror has created more terrorists -
@BernardKeane but also, isn't it factually undeniable? Why else would the ASIO budget balloon so massively? Anyway, agree it's a good Q -
@Lizzie_OShea Happy to send details of Brennan's statements if you need them. Now that he's retired, he might say he agrees!
