ASIO tearing down their fence

SOME might find it odd that a supposedly secret intelligence organisation has built itself a vast and prominent palace on Parkes Way overlooking Lake Burley Griffin.

But after significant delays the grandly named Ben Chifley Building is losing its barbed wire construction fence.

We understand ASIO won’t be moving in until next year, but the building is now being managed by Finance.
