When the Australian Federal Police is failing to investigate itself
The Australian Federal Police investigate some of the country’s most serious crimes – terrorism, corruption, drugs, and human trafficking.

The report has found that the agency is dismissing complaints that should be investigated, including allegations of corruption and assault within its own ranks.
Today, journalist Karen Middleton talks about the allegations inside the AFP, and what it tells us about the culture of the agency.
