Shots Fired: When the state turned its guns on Australian patriots: 1988-1994

By Nathan Sykes

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Australia stood at a crossroads: either it embraced radical multiculturalism or it turned back. Public opinion had to be engineered.

What followed was one of the most audacious operations in Australian history.

When a tiny nationalist group dared to challenge the new orthodoxy, the state unleashed its most secretive weapons - ASIO and the NSW Special Branch. Detectives ran informers, fabricated evidence, and orchestrated fake terror plots. They recruited broken men, paid them, and set them loose. They turned wives against husbands and comrades against comrades. They even manufactured a "car-bombing" that never happened.

Then someone died.

A loyal foot soldier was gunned down in cold blood inside National Action headquarters while ASIO listened and did nothing. A mother spiralled into suicide attempts. A leader was framed and jailed for a crime the police knew he didn't commit.

This is not conspiracy theory. It is documented history.

SHOTS FIRED is the explosive true story of how Australia's own security services waged a secret war on its own citizens - with the full backing of politicians, media, academia and NGOs who demanded "tolerance" while practising ruthless intolerance.

When the state decides your politics are dangerous, how far will it go to destroy you?

And if they can do it to them... who's next?
