    Mitchell Unlimited S01E10 - Mike Burgess

    Australia’s Top Spy & Social Media Censorship In this unmissable episode of Mitchell Unlimited, Neil Mitchell brings you a rare, exclusive look behind the curtain of national security. It took almost a year to arrange, but Neil sits down for an extraordinary conversation with Australia's top spy—the Director-General of ASIO, Mike Burgess. ASIO plays a critical role in keeping us safe, yet few Australians truly understand what powers the agency holds or how it operates daily against foreign spies, covert interference, and threats to our way of life. Mike Burgess breaks down why security is everyone’s business, why he’s no fan of James Bond (though he’s got a soft spot for Maxwell Smart), and how everyday citizens fit into the big picture of national defense. Plus, in our Father & Son segment, Neil is joined by his son Cameron for a clash of generations. A Boomer and a 38-year-old Millennial tackle the government's proposed changes to social media—is it common sense, or a dangerous step toward censorship? In this episode: Behind the ASIO Curtain: A rare, inside look at Australia's top intelligence agency with Director-General Mike Burgess. Debunking the Myths: Why real-world intelligence is nothing like 007. Father & Son Debate: Neil and Cameron Mitchell go head-to-head on government regulation of social media.

Wayne Gatt is a former operational policeman, he's now secretary of the Victoria's Police Association. Lex Lasry was a Supreme Court judge for almost 20 years.
