The government officials responsible claimed they were from the Attorney-General's Department, and spent a day trawling through her computers, looking for sensitive information. When they found any, they smashed the hard drives with a hammer to make sure it was really erased. They referred to the process as 'cleansing'.
This is what the Government officials claimed they were looking for. Carmel had been emailed a draft version of Andrew Wilkie's book 'Axis of Deceit', for research on a documentary.

Whoa.  So, not only can the government suppress and destroy copies of a book exposing its lies to the Australian people on the grounds that it contains sensitive information, but because it supposedly compromises national security, we can't even know what that information was.  How very convenient.

Sometimes i think this must all be the script for some dystopian police state movie, not really happening.
