Malcolm Turnbull criticized the UK government for its hypocrisy and concealment regarding the Spycatcher affair, emphasizing that the public deserves transparency on the suppressed files.
Turnbull's legal battle for Peter Wright in 1986 revealed MI5's interference and deceit, forcing a government official to acknowledge dishonesty under intense scrutiny.
Last year's memo releases highlighted the extent of deception by former officials, including the acknowledgment of Robert Armstrong's misleading statements to the Australian court.
At the Chelsea history festival, Turnbull remarked on the extraordinary nature of Armstrong's perjury, contrasting it with the realpolitik of MI5's historical actions.
