Oh what a tangled web we weave: Lizzie O'Shea on government hypocrisy in the case of Witness K

Earlier this month human rights lawyer Lizzie O'Shea wrote an article for Eureka Street that ought to trouble anyone concerned about the expanding power of the surveillance state in this country, as well as the grotesque hypocrisies that lie at the heart of the Australian political class. A former intelligence officer, known only as Witness K, and his lawyer, potentially face up to two years in jail, for exposing a 2004 operation to bug the cabinet offices of the East Timorese government. O'Shea spoke to Indymedia's Alex Whisson.
