And without doubt it will impact on the trust between our law enforcement agencies for some time to come. For law enforcement agencies public trust and confidence are essential to the delivery of agency outcomes. Collectively, this serves as a reminder to all of the threat that corrupt 'trusted insiders' pose to our border security.
