Sue-Ellen Doherty was trained by her parents to spy for Australia during the Cold War.

For Sue-Ellen Kusher, nee Doherty, growing up in the suburbs of Brisbane was far from normal. Both her parents worked for the Australian Secret Intelligence Organisation, ASIO, and in the early days of their marriage, they brought up their three children to be part of the family business. It was the 1950s, and Russian and Chinese communists were regarded as enemies.

Sue-Ellen spoke to us in 2021.
