One of the many reasons that I love Melbourne. Your Blue Shirts are not welcome here, Mr Abbott.

Shorten questions timing of announcement

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten praised the Government's plans to crack down on crime and visa fraud, but said he was sceptical of the Government's decision to broadcast the plans prior to the operation.

"I do hope that any of these actions are done to try and protect Australian laws, to make sure that people are not overstaying their visas, to make sure that temporary guest workers are not being exploited," Mr Shorten said.

"If you're going to do a blitz, I don't know why you'd necessarily telegraph it to the media first."

from everything I've read it sounds like the state govt and Vic Police did not have the same operation in mind as was announced in the original press release from the ABF

Welcome to 21st century Australia.

"We consider the border not to be a purely physical barrier separating nation states, but a complex continuum stretching offshore and onshore, including the overseas, maritime, physical border and domestic dimensions of the border.
Treating the border as a continuum allows an integrated, layered approach to provide border management in depth – working ahead of and behind the border, as well as at the border, to manage threats and take advantage of opportunities.”

A little insight into how these people think - Mike Pezzullo, head of the immigration and border protection department.
