In 2010 an Australian businessman, Peter Mason, was sitting in his Sydney office when the phone rang. He didnât know that he was about to have a conversation with a spy heâd never met. It was a story he would be telling for years to come.
Australiaâs then director-general of security, the formal title of ASIOâs chief, introduced himself. David Irvine proceeded to invite Mason to a one-on-one lunch. Mason is very well known in corporate Australia. After a career in investment banking, he chaired establishment institutions including AMP and David Jones, became a trustee at the Sydney Opera House Trust, and is on the board of Optusâs parent company, Singtel. He wasnât hard up for a lunch invitation. But heâd never had anything to do with ASIO. He suspected it was a prank call.
