In the middle of World War Two when the enemy was at the gate and Australia's leaders were preparing for an invasion, one of the country's senior security officers was summonsed to appear before a judge in a secret hearing. The security officer was summoned to answer charges of the Australian Army's Commander-in-chief, General Blamey, that the security officer had been seen wearing ribbons and medals he was not entitled to, that he no longer had the confidence of our American allies and he used women of doubtful character for agents.
