Identity crime report<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week we mentioned the release of the Identity Crime and Misuse in Australia 2013-2014<\/em><\/a> report from the Attorney-General\u2019s Department and Australian Institute of Criminology. Key findings include that identity crime is estimated to cost our economy upwards of $2 billion, reported data breaches are increasing and, despite this increase, identity crime remains under-reported. This is due to victims\u2019 embarrassment, confusion over reporting mechanisms, or perhaps worse\u2014not realising they were a victim at all.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Justice Minister Michael Keenan has announced plans to spend $18.5 million on establishing the National Facial Biometric Matching Capability<\/a> to reduce the capacity for identity theft.<\/p>\n

Organised crime threatens Stormont<\/em><\/p>\n

Political crisis in Northern Ireland, sparked by the murder of former IRA member Kevin McGuigan<\/a>, has revived debate of the continuing paramilitary activity in the region. While there have been assurances that the Provisional IRA no longer exists, others believe that the group has simply moved from terrorism into organised crime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One suggestion to counter the effects of this transition from British Secretary of State Theresa Villiers is to re-establish a body like the Independent Monitoring Commission<\/a>, which was founded to monitor any continuing paramilitary activity and normalisation of security measures as part of the Northern Irish peace process, and was disbanded in 2011<\/a>. However, critics say the body won\u2019t be suited to current criminal monitoring challenges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paw enforcement <\/em><\/p>\n

Days after the 14th anniversary of the 9\/11, Bretange, the last known surviving rescue dog to work at the World Trade Centres on the day of the attacks, was treated to a sixteenth birthday party<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n

For paw enforcement closer to home, Canberrans can say woof<\/em> to the AFP K9s who assist with parliamentary security this Saturday 19 September at Parliament House Open Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

China and Pakistan\u2019s joint counter terrorism exercise<\/em><\/p>\n

On 15 September, China and Pakistan wrapped up the Pakistan\u2013China Special Forces joint exercise for counter terrorism operations. The seven week joint field exercise between Beijing and Islamabad, dubbed Joint Field Exercise Warrior-III, took place in Bahdar Range in the Attock district near Islamabad. At the closing ceremony, Pakistan\u2019s Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif praised<\/a> the exercise, declaring that \u2018the everlasting relation will grow to unprecedented heights as both countries will continue to work towards total elimination of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.\u2019 Read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the domestic front<\/em><\/p>\n

The Terrorism Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill has been introduced to the Tasmanian State Parliament. The Bill would expand the powers of Tasmanian police to detain terror suspects and obtain preventative detention orders verbally or electronically in urgent circumstances<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s been revealed<\/a> that a supposed Perth-based Islamic State jihadist is actually a 20 year old American named Joshua Ryne Goldberg. The Florida resident, whose alias\u00a0was \u2018Australia Witness,\u2019 was arrested last week and accused of planning a bomb attack on a 9\/11 memorial event in Kansas City. The arrest was the result of an FBI joint investigation with the AFP and information provided by Fairfax media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Thai-Malay border caught by Europe\u2019s wall-building momentum <\/em><\/p>\n

Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur have agreed to build a wall to strengthen surveillance<\/a> along their common border amid growing concerns about human trafficking. During the 32nd Malaysia\u2013Thailand High Level Committee Meeting, both countries also decided the wall\u2019s construction will start next year in several locations, although details of its height and length remain unknown. Considering Southeast Asia\u2019s significant people-smuggling and intra-regional trafficking problems, this response is set to be a trendsetter.<\/p>\n

EU border controls are back<\/em><\/p>\n

As German Chancellor Angela Merkel calls for an emergency summit<\/a> to find a European response to the refugee crisis, Germany restored border controls<\/a> on Sunday. Border checks in the Schengen area<\/a> were abolished in 1995. But to handle an unprecedented influx of migrants, Germany\u2019s stance on free movement is being put to test. Austria, Slovakia, The Netherlands and Hungary\u2014where asylum seekers have already been arrested for breaching new border laws<\/a>\u2014embraced the German decision. Rather than closing the door on refugees, Berlin has insisted<\/a> that the new measures were needed to restore order to the asylum process.<\/p>\n

The border fact <\/em><\/p>\n

The European Commission estimates<\/a> that Europeans make over 1.25 billion journeys within the Schengen area<\/a> each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
