Drug syndicates exploit our security

Criminals are exploiting flaws in our border security system

Criminals are exploiting flaws in our border security system to learn if containers holding their illicit drugs and contraband are being searched. David Oldfield asks if any Boarder Security Officials have yet been sacked.

An independent inquiry into Australia's customs and border protection is urgently needed, according to the Federal Opposition.

It's been revealed 15 employees have been suspended or stood down since 2010 for misconduct or corruption allegations within Customs.

It follows the discovery of a gun-smuggling syndicate in Sydney working under the noses of Australian officials.

Shadow Justice Minister Michael Keenan says former AFP Commissioner Mick Keelty should be recruited to examine the service.

  • Yes over in the Philippines the people have spoken, dumping ex-president Gloria Arroyo who is now under house arrest awaiting trial. A Royal Commission is obviously needed here, after the coming federal election. This corrupted lying, deceiving Labor government simply cannot just walk away like nothing has happened and then collect unwarranted, substantial lifetime parliamentary pensions etc.

  • Bob, I think the best shot when Prime minister Browneye and his executive assistant Jul-liar and their comrades, turncoats et al are booted at the next election, would be for the Liberal coalition real Government to hold a Royal Commission into this pack of no hopers. The utterly rotten,useless, insipid, disgusting,
    rorting labor party/greens party will never ever form government here again for 25 years or more. The rotten liars and incompetent rorters that they are.

  • We need one big inquiry into this disgustingly anti-Australia, habitually lying, traitorous slime greens Gillard Labor menace. Who keep falsely telling us that the poison that they are feeding us: "is the right thing to do"!! The very angry majority are demanding an election now and the loyal silent Labor Governor General Quentin Bryce does not care!
    Tony Abbott; A Royal Commission is absolutely essential to expose the full corrupted truth of this very evil Labor government. Subsequent to the coming federal election, all outgoing Labor parliamentary pensions must be frozen!
