What a great debate! Spying on Sydney – a panel discussion about surveillance – organised by City of Sydney Libraries on 15 February 2012 – was sold out and what a great audience. I want to thank Ali Dexter for organising it and my fellow panelists, Katherine Howell (her new book, Silent Fear, has just been released), chairperson Dr Gavin Smith, private investigator Charles Rahim, and journalist Alex Mitchell.
