Absolutely Minimbah, agree 100 percent.
I only posted the link because I was moderately interested in reading the document and thought other people might be too, and it was mentioned in the media with respect to the body scanners. I also thought the summary section outlining the role of each department was useful, and was interested to read in The Australian (can't remember where it was in the report) that ASIO may be taking on some criminal investigative powers.

At the end of the day the squirrels probably don't tell their own Minister what they're up to, so a public document is always going to be a bit short of actual information . The lucky buggers get much less media scrutiny than various other departments we could mention, which hopefully means they're left to get on with their work rather than getting diverted by their Minister's latest Fabulous Idea for hitting page 1 (There's been another scandal! March out the cute sniffer puppies!!) .
