Malcolm Turnbull, the former Prime Minister of Australia, has criticized the UK government for what he describes as "extraordinary" hypocrisy regarding the ongoing secrecy surrounding the Spycatcher affair. Turnbull, who previously served as a barrister for Peter Wright—a former senior MI5 officer—has expressed concerns about the UK’s continued efforts to block the release of classified documents related to the case. The Spycatcher affair centers on Wright's memoir, which exposed a range of illegal activities conducted by British intelligence services. Turnbull, reflecting on his experiences, noted that he witnessed a "shocking act of perjury" during the proceedings and suggested that MI5 is still attempting to conceal important information. His comments highlight a broader issue of transparency and accountability within intelligence agencies.
