Snedden Demands Murphy Questions Over ASIO Raid

In Melbourne on Monday, Opposition Leader Mr Snedden released questions to the Attorney-General Senator Murphy regarding last week’s ASIO raid. He urged the Prime Minister Mr Whitlam to have Senator Murphy answer immediately, saying the government must inform the public of all circumstances. Snedden claimed the government aims to discredit ASIO, warning this as a step toward destroying it. Sydney reports quote Dr Cairns defending Murphy’s actions, calling the raid on ASIO headquarters in Melbourne unfortunate but necessary. Police uncovered gelignite and fuses at a Canberra house but, due to ACT ordinances, could not press charges, with differing NSW and Victorian laws cited. Separate notes mention Croatian literature urging attacks on Yugoslav embassies and interests, distributed around Melbourne and connected to a Croatian publication.
