I used to be Australian, too. I think of it like trusting gangs in the thieves guild, there might be some gangs that are ethically more admirable than others, but at the end of the day if it comes down to it, the administrative board of the thieves guild is able to compel any of it's member organisations to act in accordance with its edicts. So if you're going to take any action that might cause the administrative guild of that thieves board to attack you, it should be a foregone conclusion that the trust of intermediary parties beholden to that central authority is irrelevant. Arrange your affairs accordingly. If you must deal with gangs of thieves, deal with the better ones, and if you can avoid it, don't. And if, heaven help you, you decide to take action that will paint crosshairs on your back from the central thieves guild committee, your opsec should take into account the full powers that committee is able to bring to bear upon you.
