  1. Wright's book was half what was already reported in newspapers and half just nonsense he made up in his vivid imagination. However, there is somewhat oblique evidence that Hollis was a Russian agent. Hollis spent some time convincing the Australian Government to set up their own civilian agency ASIO. When the then PM agreed, he asked Britain to send out an expert to help set it up. They sent Hollis, who interviewed Australian candidates for ASIO jobs and selected the weakest, least competent ones. As described in ASIO's official history published about 10 years ago, ASIO in its early years was like a bunch of goofing keystone cops.
