I was shown, Friday's edition of the Herald Sun (a Melbourne newspaper), one of their senior journalists on law and order and police matters, Andrew RULE, wrote a scathing article juxtaposing the Victoria Police (VICPOL) to that of the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

He stated while VICPOL were executing dozens of search warrants upon premises allegedly owned by outlaw Bikie gangs, the AFP were 'sheepishly' (sic) executing a search warrant, against Ch.7 Studios here in Sydney apparently looking for evidence of 'proceeds of crime' associated with an alleged interview conducted with Ms Corby, in Bali ?

He RULE, berated the AFP for it's general lack of successes, together with it's apparent lack of any genuine police adroitness and discernment, compared and contrasted with their State counterparts ?

Personally, I'm relatively vague as to what functions the AFP actually perform ? Though I understand they're an amalgam of the Former Commonwealth and Australian Capital Territory Police Forces, and the former, Bureau of Narcotics, a component of Australian Customs. It's my understanding they're a comparatively young organisation, having been founded in late 1979, a mere 35 years ago ?

I do wonder therefore, are they particularly well trained ? Are they a difficult organisation to join ? Who exactly do they answer to ? And have they demonstrated any real success in the interdiction of crime in this country ?

O Sung Wu, I too know very little about the AFP, but have just read in the West Australian newspaper today that they made some mistakes in their raid on the Chanel 7 offices that resulted in them having to apologize.

It sounded like it was a bit heavy-handed to me, but I agree in principal with their strong stand against Corby and her family receiving any payment for her story.

I was annoyed to read that after the Indonesian Government stood by their threat to put Corby back into jail if she did an interview with the media, Corby's sister and Brother-in-law tried to get an audience with the Government officials.

Apparently, Mercedes thought Corby would be far 'happier' telling her story to the media because all the media were upsetting her.

Yeah right!
All that Corby and her greedy family want is the money for the interview, and I hope they never see a cent of it.
She is a convicted drug smuggler, and she should never profit from that.

The Australian Federal Police were set up by Prime Minister, William Morris Hughes in 1917, to protect him from egg throwing Queenslander's. Since Billy died in 1952 the Fed's haven't had much to do. LOL.

Good evening there - ONE UNDER GOD and SUSEONLINE...

Thank you both for your contributions, I appreciate your efforts.

Certainly you don't hear much about them really, a major drug bust occasionally ? I'm interested in what powers they possess ? For an example, can they pull you over for a normal traffic matter ? Do they wear a uniform ? I've seen some bright red Commodores with 'Federal Police' stencilled all over them, complete with blue and red lights, flying around and about.

I'd be most interested to hear more on these people ?

Ms Corby will probably be allowed to keep her interview money ? It certainly wouldn't surprise me ? Didn't David Hicks write a book about his incarceration in Guantanamo Bay ? It was advertised and displayed in the ABC shops. Not sure if he sold too many copies though ?

Thanks again for your contributions.
