“We repeatedly asked what the motivation of the person who provided this information was. However, (AFP) the internal policies prevented them from doing it … we weren’t told.”

The Deputy Commissioner for National Security of the FP Krissy Barrett told a Federal Parliamentary Committee two weeks ago that his investigators also concluded that the threat of the caravan was probably false “almost immediately”.

Barrett reiterated that all agencies have agreed to maintain the investigation on the caravan inside the JCTt despite their doubts about the intelligence of terrorism.

“While we were confident that all these types were false, we could not risk ignoring the information provided and we continued to investigate the highest levels,” said Barrett al Herald.

He said that the Task Force had “exceptionally successful” in mitigating and triating threats and would have continued to be operationally effective.

Finger puncture after loss of caravan

However, the distrust between the two organizations lingered under the surface during the investigation.

When The Daily Telegraph He published a story on the caravan on January 29, 10 days after his discovery, the AFP suspected the police of the New South Wales outside the JCTT of losses of details of the probe.

The new South Wales police suspected that the AFP was leaked to ABC Victoria after the public broadcaster reached the same information on the same day.

In any case, the story has been sprayed through each news site in a few minutes, with enormous consequences for officers within the JCTT – Akca and other objectives immediately went to the ground.

The premier of the new South Wales Chris Minns and Hudson conducted cameras, but the AFP did not do, during an emergency press conference that evening.

In the following month, politicians and commentators amplified terrorist fiction – Minns called it a “potential event of mass victims” – but both police forces have quietly informed journalists to be skeptical about the plot.

On February 10, a high investigative officer of the New South Wales police met the AFP for a briefing on the source of terrorism intelligence.

The AFP has commissioned the senior investigator to sign an act of confidentiality, in part to stem further losses.

The members of the NSW parliamentary committee called the precaution and apparent lack of trust between agencies, “extraordinary”.

“AFP works on the basis of the fact that knowledge is power, so they will not share information.”

Senior NSW Officer

Barrett told the Herald This act was not “uncommon” in highly sensitive investigations and that its own officers also signed the same document.

The losses are studied, both agencies say.

“The Kissinger operation remains an ongoing and complex investigation,” said Barrett. “Clearly, it has overcome a series of unexpected challenges, including a repeated unauthorized dissemination of information.

“These unauthorized dissemination have requested a necessary change in the revolt in the investigation.

“These dissemination have been referred to relevant supervision bodies.”

It was not until February 21, the investigation of the new South Wales listened to that the AFP has discreditly its terrorist source. On the same day, new controversial laws designed to repress the protests and the speech of hatred, including the ban on showing Nazi symbols near Synagogues or graffiti in churches, have been approved in the Parliament of the new South Wales.

Barrett and Hudson both faced the media on March 10 to publicly confirm the plot of the caravan was a hoax, almost A month after the revelation of this masthead Terrorism had fallen as the main theory within the JCTTT.

The AFP and NSW police insist on the JCTT, made up of officers of both entities, has worked tirelessly and professionally in extreme circumstances and control.

Private, senior sources inside the agencies are not shy for the friction outside the JCTTT.

“The AFP works on the basis of the fact that knowledge is power, so they will not share information,” said a high NSW official, who asked for anonymity to speak freely.

Speaking with the HeraldRod Roberts, president of the parliamentary investigation of the NSW, said that the community deserved to know that there was a “harmonious relationship” between the two agencies to “make sure to be protected”.

“It is quite evident that there has been a breakage of communication and trust between the AFP and NSW police forces that must be resolved as soon as possible,” said the independent deputy.

“They must be able to safely share information with each other and have that trust, but at the moment it is not happening … we hope that tomorrow we are not subject to another threat of terror.”

The AFP was invited to provide investigation tests and is taking into consideration the request.

The member of the investigation of his Higginson, a member of Greens, said that the dural investigation will examine whether the new laws on hatred have been made in bad faith or in bad information.

“We begged the government for a break,” said Higginson.

“The government has deprived us of all – legislators and affected communities – of really important democratic security systems”.
