In The Age, in an article on ASIO - 

Defence specialist Professor Des Ball learnt: "ASIO identified me as someone who is involved in the supply of drugs to the deaf and dumb fraternity in Canberra."

I suppose it's progress to have ASIO concerned with disability issues, even to the extent of noticing......

Not, of course, that Des ever did, but even so.
