The Street Review: A Review of Interoperability between the AFP and its security partners

We could do with lots of these. Preferably not just: have they ticked the boxes, but: have they really been successful and do we remember what the goals were?
This one is a bit too much oriented to more powers, more committees, and no comment on regular review of information stored to ensure gossip doesnt become a means of keeping someone in jail or deporting them. I dont see a review of the case of that poor doctor who found himself deported, for example.
Reliablity of source, corroboration from other sources and review of data protection. Intelligence is not evidence, after all.
Ive only glanced through it so far. Bit bureaucratic really, but given the membership, what else could it be?
