In late 1942, on the recommendation of 26-year-old Bob Santamaria, Australia?s Catholic bishops took the first steps in creating a clandestine church organisation to smash the Communist Party?s massive trade union base. Before long, The Movement, as it was known, developed into a sophisticated intelligence agency, with its tentacles reaching into every corner of politics and also working closely with official intelligence agencies, especially the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).Santamaria based his Movement (also called The Show) completely on the Communist Party, copying its spectacularly successful union-organising machinery. Within a decade, it had defeated communist power in many major unions.
