The Age lists cover the period up until 1992. The following year a new Victorian secret police group was established - the Protective Security Intelligence Group (PSIG), made up of a merger between the Operations Intelligence Unit and the Counter Terrorist Intelligence Section. This group is currently in operation and Police Commissioner Brian Church has admitted to The Age that it continues the work of the past. Dave Gordon and Stephen Jolly of Militant are the only people yet to win access to their PSIG files after a long battle with Freedom of Information (FOI) officers at the Victorian Police and then at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

Their files were handed over in full, but 90% was marked out, with the police successfully claiming exemption (for matters of security) under Section 31 (1) of the FOI legislation.

Nevertheless they still make interesting reading. I had a file card in the PSIG files, official diary entries, a day book entry, and no less that 31 reports (six 'with attachments') from 11th February 1993 to 14th November 1994. In effect, a police report was prepared on me every three weeks. Also in my file were photos, newspaper articles, including copies of Militant. All this took up a five page computer index. As well as this printed material they had five video tapes on footage on me.

Dave had a similar amount of material on him including information on him from NSW police: 'Gordon had also been arrested for hindering police in Sydney in relation to being evicted from a squat, but the charges were later dismissed.' Yet these charges still found their way onto PSIG files.

Unlike our comrades in many countries, we are subject merely to surveillance and not bullets or jail. We will not be intimidated.
