And what was worse was that the publication by Pinscher had actually been connived in by the British government.
Not only had they known Pinscher was about to publish his book and did nothing to restrain it, but in fact, as we now know, through documents that have come out in the Public Records Office, Sir Robert Armstrong, who was Thatcher's cabinet secretary, as you recall, had actually recommended to Thatcher that Pinscher be briefed on the Hollis allegations so that it could be got out through the pen, effectively, of a safely conservative journalist.
So the Spycatcher case is also about the extraordinary hypocrisy of the British establishment.
I mean, Armstrong came to Australia and lied in the witness box.
You know, I couldn't get the judge to accept that he'd committed perjury.
But he had to correct his evidence.
He had to apologize to the court for misleading the court.
He had that one-liner, which he thought was funny.
Economical with the truth.
When I put to him some correspondence he'd written, which was misleading, where I said, this is a lie.
And he said, no, no, I was just being economical with the truth.
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
And of course, you know, just memo to self, last place to joke about telling the truth is in a witness box when you're under oath.
Everyone doesn't think it's funny.
But in fact, I put to Armstrong that the brief that Pinscher had been effectively set up to do this, write this stuff about Hollis, and I might say the person who introduced
right to Pinscher was Victor Rothschild.
So you can see why you can develop a few conspiracy theories here.
So I put to Armstrong that Pinscher had been brought into this with the connivance of government.
And Armstrong said, that is a very ingenious conspiracy theory, Mr. Turnbull, but utterly untrue.
