A doctor, teacher, gardener and spy. These are four real-life Australians who attracted the attention of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO). But who were they and why was ASIO interested in them? What role did social and political activism have to play in this? Come along to find out more!

This will be a hybrid (in-person and online) session presented by the National Archives of Australia in collaboration with the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.

Those who attend in person will also be able to visit the Disrupt, Persist, Invent exhibition which is on display at the Victorian Archives Centre until 5 April 2024.
