I don't know why you would bother stirring up trouble. But your choice.Australian customs are well known for their poor behaviour, and the Australian Federal police are internationally known as a joke in intelligence circles for their huge mistakes. Scotland Yard detectives apparently joke about them in regards to the Haneef affair.
Only a few years ago a family in Sydney was awarded an undisclosed amount from them in a private settlement. The reason? The federal police raided the wrong address, they apparently couldn't tell even numbers from odd numbers on the street and an innocent family got a rude awakening having their door kicked in.
As for jokes about the AFP and the case you quote, think yourself lucky. There are cases in the US of the FBI knocking down the wrong door and then shooting everyone in the house.
