The Defence Signals Directorate motto:
In God we trust, the rest we monitor"

Are we doing anything that isn't being done already by most other countries? Not really.
I think the interception of radio telephone traffic coming from a vessel that is a suspected people smuggler is not only acceptable, but necessary.

The position these Australian seamen find themselves in is of their own doing and very UN-Australian at that. No sympathy from me. I would also suggest that our Leader of the Opposition, Mr Crean, would do exactly the same thing if Labour was in power.

The mere mention of the 3 words DSD will probably cause this very post to become targeted LOL.

Funny thing is, back in the 70's I used to work for the very organisation we are talking about in a round about way. They (DSD) have grown since then from the old teleprinter days.

Enuff sed on the matter.
