Further to the Minister’s reply to question No. 4856 that the additional detail “sought in relation to this question would result in an unreasonable diversion of AFP [Australian Federal Police] resources”, will he explain why this is the case; if not, why not.

The eleven individual questions comprising Question 4856 in turn consist of subordinate questions that seek responses regarding four incidents. In effect, over one hundred questions are asked. As such, a substantial diversion of law enforcement resources was required to answer them. The only information not provided in my original response are details of those who discovered the people involved in the incidents, details of oral and written reports made, actions taken by the recipients of such reports, and when that action was taken. Given the comprehensive responses already provided, there is no appreciable value in further diverting law enforcement resources to obtain the outstanding information.
