Delivered

Dear Australian Security Intelligence Organisation,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request access to any documents, internal policies, operational protocols, or training materials created between 2015 and 2024 that relate to the recruitment or use of civilians (i.e. non-agency individuals) as covert assets, informants, or behavioural influence tools within Australian territory.

This includes any references to psychological manipulation, relationship-based surveillance, or coordinated behavioural modification techniques targeting individuals or communities.

I do not seek personal information and am happy to accept redacted documents where appropriate. Please provide electronic copies.

Yours faithfully,
M.M
