Australian Secret Intelligence Service??

Are they the crew that held a super secret exercise in Perth some years ago??

The one where they stormed into a hotel suite after busting the door off it's hinges, barged into the suite, and went full retard on the occupants - hogtied / shackled / bag over head / interrogated etc.

Only to find they had the wrong room, on the wrong floor - in the wrong flaming hotel!!!!!!!

yeah - real intelligent

Were they charged with break and enter along with assault and deprivation of liberty?

Nah mate, they've got guns

they have now - but their toys were taken off them for something like 19 years for being silly little duckheads.
[this happened in '84]

and........my apologies, it wasn't Perth, it was the Sheraton in Melbourne, and the unknowing "defector" being rescued was the Dean of a University who was in town for a conference.

do a google on "botched ASIS hotel raid", it is a pretty entertaining read.

personally, I wouldn't call it brave..........

yep- they snuck into the hotel, smashed down the door [fire rated hotel doors are pretty pricey] wrecking the door, it's frame, and stuffing the surrounding wall.
"rescued" the occupants who were supposed to be abducted diplomats [or something like that]
Nearby room occupants rang reception to report the noise, manager went up to have a look -and got shoved back in the lift by an unidentified hooded bloke with a submachinegun.
Manager called the police - they arrived as the ASIS team were leaving, and a gunfight almost occurred, and back then the Victorian police were pretty fond of throwing lead around.

IIRC, Asis had gone to the wrong building / wrong floor / wrong room - the one the were supposed to visit had a floor about to be closed off for refurbishment, and the approval of the owners to do damage.

needless to say - it was a bit too hard to sweep under the carpet.

We knew of this about an hour after it happened, through the Australian hotel industries "skip-chain", a communication system the industry used at the time to warn other hotels of people to deny access, for non payment or damage etc.

At the time, I worked at the Orchard hotel in Perth, and it was pretty regularly that we would have state police, federals, SAS and fire brigade blokes pay us a visit to be familiar with the layout, ventilation ducting system, back of house areas, engineering spaces and the like.

And yes - a few times when we were doing refurbs they would come and play.

mind you - with all our security crew being ex Aussie - Brit - Rhodesian SAS, with a couple of Warsaw pact specialists it never got boring!

In an effort to make training activities as realistic as possible, it was decided to conduct the exercise in a public place, without notifying hotel staff, local police or bystanders.

Gosh!!! That's brave

Stupid. The entrance test metrics need re-evaluation ....

Oh and I forgot to add a nasal high pitched....hahahahaha
