History
As a British colony, Australia was overtly ruled from London. This was brought to an official end by the Statute of Westminster in 1931.[Why?] As with other colonies, the UK deep state continued its control.[citation needed]
1970s
Removal of Gough Whitlam

- Full article: 1975 Australian coup d'etat
Gough Whitlam became Prime Minister of Australia on 5 December 1972 and carried out policies unwelcome to the UK and the USA. Some of his ministers publicly criticised the Vietnam War, condemning the US indiscriminate bombing of towns, civilian targets and dense population centres as corrupt and barbaric. Whitlam also expressed his unhappiness about the Pine Gap spy station in the middle of Australia, spying on everyone including civilians, government and military.[1] In 1974, the White House made 'coupmaster' Marshall Green the US ambassador to Australia. In 1975, a clandestine coup d'etat removed Whitlam from power.
2000s
The Australian deep state has promoted the "war on terror".
2010s
Documents from the Integrity Initiative Leak refer to an Integrity Initiative Australian cluster, although they do not reveal its membership.[2]
"In the 2019 report, Australia’s democratic ‘status’ dropped. This was due to recent police raids on media outlets, the growing trend of prosecuting whistleblowers."[3]
Unlimited spying on citizenry

- Full article: Australia/Universal surveillance
After a 2015 bill claimed that the government had rights to carry out very broad warrantless mass surveillance of electronic media, including banning warrant canaries. The powers claimed were so broad that they have been called "nearly unlimited",[4] but efforts continue to expand their scope and use more resources to track and monitor citizens. In December 2018, it passed laws which claim the right to compel both "local and international providers — including overseas communication giants such as Facebook and WhatsApp — to remove electronic protections, conceal covert operations by government agencies, and help with access to devices or services."[5]
