Agreement on firearms information <\/em><\/p>\n

The Law, Crime and Community Safety Council<\/a>\u2014a forum for national Attorneys-General, police and emergency services ministers\u2014met last Friday to fast-track a new firearms database. The National Firearms Interface will include information about firearm’s ownership, whether the arms are suspected of being used in a crime or has been reported stolen. Using information gathered by federal, state and territory police, the database will be completed by the end of 2015, two years ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

The Joint Commonwealth\u2013NSW Review<\/a> into the Martin Place siege recommended the interface be implemented this year. Calls to hasten gun reform coincide with the coronial inquest<\/a> resuming this week.<\/p>\n

National coordination against organised crime<\/em><\/p>\n

The Attorney-General\u2019s Department has released its National Organised Crime Response Plan 2015-2018<\/em><\/a>, outlining initiatives for countering organised crimes, namely methamphetamine use and trafficking, gun crime, cybercrime, financial crime, criminal proceeds of crime and inter-agency information sharing.<\/p>\n

One project involves a National Facial Biometric Matching Capability, which would match faces to passports, visas and driver\u2019s licences<\/a> in an effort to counter increasingly sophisticated use of fraudulent identities.<\/p>\n

The plan recognises existing gaps, including information sharing with business and communities, holes in the national legal framework (including around unexplained wealth), and the importance of extending anti-money laundering provisions to potential professional facilitators<\/a> to prevent exploitation of business structures and financial systems.<\/p>\n

CT Scan <\/strong><\/p>\n

Australian CT directions<\/em><\/p>\n

In the latest review of Australia\u2019s counter-terrorism settings, Prime Minister Abbott has flagged a plan to strip dual-nationals of their Australian citizenship<\/a> (see analysis here<\/a> and here<\/a>). Former diplomat Greg Moriarty has also been appointed as our first national CT coordinator<\/a>. The government hasn\u2019t managed to clearly explain the new division of labour, reminding<\/a>\u00a0The Age’<\/em>s Mark Kenny of The Hollowmen<\/a>. In one episode of the show, a review concluding that there are too many CT agencies leads to the creation of an entirely new agency.<\/p>\n

As Clare mentioned above, the Sydney siege inquest<\/a> was resumed\u00a0on Monday. It seeks to answer some outstanding questions such as was the siege an example of terrorism, or a grim event borne of mental illness? Listen here<\/a> for key takeaways from the first day back (9 mins).<\/p>\n

Reforming al-Shabaab defectors<\/em><\/p>\n

The BBC<\/em> has shone a light on an organisation quietly rolling out a \u2018disengagement programme\u2019<\/a> for former al-Shabaab militants. The programme provides a sanctuary for defectors by helping them to come to terms with their actions and retraining them with new skills, including in building and sewing. The initiative also looks at reasons why people joined the group, ranging from being kidnapped to mere curiosity.<\/p>\n

Comic relief<\/em><\/p>\n

How has comedy served as a counterpoint to extremist propaganda? Parody Twitter account @MawlanaBaghdadi<\/a>\u00a0recently gave Ireland a thumbs-up for its new-found marriage equality with this<\/a> viral photo of a man dressed in pink, reclining in front of a composite black<\/span><\/a> rainbow standard flag.<\/p>\n

Checkpoint<\/strong><\/p>\n

Australia\u00b4s self- processing border gates<\/em><\/p>\n

The planned expansion<\/a> of the Smartgate e-passport system will increase both speed and security at Australia\u00b4s major international airports. With passenger flows expected to reach 50 million per year by 2020, the Government\u2019s automated self-service response will ensure that 90% of passengers are screened through biometrical facial recognition.<\/p>\n

Automated border processing will pull officers from high volume, low value activities, and into targeted work where a human being is needed, Randall Brugeaud said<\/a>. Currently, only 35% of passengers are processed through biometrical facial recognition systems.<\/p>\n

Canada\u00b4s transnational highways go driverless <\/em><\/p>\n

A proposal<\/a> to build a robot highway from Canada to Mexico crossing the US may not be as outrageous as it seems if it should be used exclusively by unmanned trucks. The commodities trade between Mexico, the US and Canada have pushed for feasibility studies to start. The proposed route would aim to secure a commercial lifeline for the region, and has gained attention from the border security community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
