Unfortunately the public have no faith in the police or government at this point of time

Disgraceful, outright treason

He sure dances around the statement "physical police station". You basically have foreign agents on the ground and choose to do nothing about it. Quite disgraceful.

He’s lying. You can tell by his body language. They always say they will take it on notice so they can be excused from properly responding!

Showing a dismissive attitude to such an issue does not show respect for the Parliament.

'No physical police station in Australia' does not address the issue of whether there are boots on the grounds. That issue was carefully maneouvred around.

Every so often you come across a person that fails to give confidence in their answer. This chap is such a person.

This is what not answering questions looks like.

So 60 minutes, a news channel has better investigators than AFP !! If I ever get in trouble, I now know who to call.

If they're allowing foreign agents to work within Australia is that not treason committed in office?

Good work Senator Paterson. You seem to know a weasel when you see one.

So whilst this is happening, I can’t cut down a tree on my own property.

Elite level cops all look like they are dressed at an expensive Fancy Dress store.

Outrageous.. why are they here ? Who will they be arresting.. Outrageous 🤬

Maybe the right question might raise a different answer? Is there a physical CCP Police station in Australia? No. Are there people of CCP alignment, acting as Chinese police, acting in the interests of the CCP, in Australia. A somewhat different question, i'd say.

Er Ar Er Ar we thank you for your question Er Ar We Dont have that information directly OMFG!!

Dancing around answering the questions.

So the photo that was published a while ago of a Chicom flag on an Australian police station brings into question the truth of their evidence.

Keep up the pressure Senator..we appreciate your hard work in keeping these public servants accountable to us all- the Australian People.

AFP= protecting Australia by watching 60 Minutes

This country is in serious trouble, if and when a hot war breaks out in the Pacific.

This AFP don’t have permission to admit this Albenese won’t let them

I feel like I am on a bus and the driver is asleep…

His mocking little laugh at the start should tell you everything you need to know about this person answering the questions. Also, I wonder if the AFP is that laidback and blazé about Facebook or Reddit posts about "vaccines" and such?

Foreign interference occurs when activity carried out by, or on behalf of, a foreign power, is coercive, corrupting, deceptive or clandestine, and contrary to Australia's sovereignty, values and national interests. who approved the ccp police stations ?? they are participating in foreign interference and should be removed from office permanently

Do we have a police station in China NO so why do we have a Chinese police station here in Australia WHY

Bizarre answers - obviously the question isn’t whether there’s a formal bricks & mortar Chinese police station with signage - the question is are people taking that role on behalf of the CCP.

So much for transparency

He doesnt give me any confidence at all in national security - taking a lot of questions on notice that i would expect him to be able to answer off the top of his head

Amazing the police is aware and nothing came from it. Mmmmmm, so there is nothing to worry about. Wonderful, truly wonderful.

Senator you have the POWER TO THROW them in JAil They literally laughing at you in the stand.....

I thiught we were getting Chinese police here for regular police personnel anyway. Like in the Solomon islands. They say they are having trouble recruiting Australians to mistreat other Australians.

Senator Paterson is smart as a wip,nothing seems to get past him.

this is unbelievable, what in the world has happened to this country, how in the F*$cking world did we get here

This AFP Officer is speaking With an Accent that is NOT AUSTRALIAN.

So, the Commissioner is saying that CCP has its police stations in the USA but are not bothered to have one in Australia.

Would this be a distraction from the AFP Commissioner conflict of interest allegations?

Keep the good pressure up James. Why are they still working interesting

Lol this is ridiculous. You were literally a national security person a year ago.

Reprehensible irresponsibility by the AFP. Unfathomable. GREAT WORK Senator Paterson. Is this the MOST Competent Senator Australia has ever had ? It seems he is on the strength of his questioning of these slippery SES appointments. The executive is rotten to the core.

There is a Chinese police station in Box Hill, Victoria and there is a Chinese flag out front!

One thing I have never understood about these repulsive bureaucrats is do they genuinely think their children and grandchildren will be exempt? Seriously ask yourself. I hope that lobster lunch was worth selling out your own children and grandchildren.

If FBI is involved in any way than i d have my doubts

There’s no physical police stations in Australia. Maybe, but clandestine Chinese police can still be operating out of residential houses

Seems that we have the same issue here in the US A Chinese lab has been busted in California China has also been buying up a large amount of farmland in the States

No physical police station. Dodgy answering of the questions. Better off just saying no comment if he doesn't want to answer truthfully 💰

I have seen police liaison officers working the streets in Brisbane quite a few times, however that doesn't mean they have a station allocated to their use, when just an office would be more suitable for all purposes obviously.

What i don't get is they used Chinese/HK police that's based here from 1999.. And to everyone today, news of their existance seems shocking.. Many of us thought it was normal.. ..low and behold; operating with & on Aus soil was illegal in it self..

Point them out, we can show them some old school manners lessons

Reassuring to hear officially there is not a physical Chinese police station in OZ. But if there was, it probably would not have signage saying Chinese Cop Shop.

Aussie Cossack (an Australian resident) has had to seek refuge in the Russian embassy because of false charges against Aussie that would've put him in prison for many years.... Shame on the AFP!!!

You mean to tell me that the Chinese police are here? Tell us what we don't know?

Well done James!

We will take that on notice!!

A person is in a room being interrogated. There is no lock on the door so physically they are free to go but they are warned that if they leave it will be very bad for their family back in China. I think the AFP says "there are no locks on the room, it has no detention cells, it's not a "physical" police station but it is a detention centre.

No ... we do not find any comfort in either of these token lapdogs ...

Why is a foreigner a leader in the AFP?

Chinese are spending 7 to 8 million per day on real estate so they ate certainly are interfering in property but that's OK this questioning is hilarious

A Policeman that could be deported on complete lack of character grounds.

Just visited Sydney which is very clearly Chinese majority now. How on earth would they even tell now?

We are China's sub in their bdsm game.

Here in Ballarat there we have a new Chinese library, how exciting for our Ballarat community! Mmmmm

deny, deny, deny. The AFP guy is certainly diplomatic. I can only hope they are quietly watching, very carefully, even if not admitting it.

I see charges of treason in his future.

That's interesting! I passed information and a photo to my local member, David Littleproud MP that appeared to my son to be a Chinese operative travelling through Qld. That was 6 April 2023.

Typical bureaucrat, who believes that his knowledge is power, over elected representatives. Will not answer directly, dances around the subject to hide his, and his departments incompetence. He should be warned that his failings to protect the population will lead to his dismissal. Good luck finding another job back in your home country.

Swamy smiling AFP officer totally disrespectful . If he was in a USA senate hearing he would be toast

Don’t believe him at all.

The Chinese would hardly advertise their presence , except ...to the local Chinese who need some re education and ability to influence our local politicians .

Poor old lady that died because of this rubbish ! FTP ftp

Don't ya know Mate, They went to the address provided and asked Em if they were Police. They said No. Job well done 😂😂😂😂

How can anyone in his position say that there are not any? Wouldn't you assume there was?? And always be continuously looking?? There are literally hundreds around the world. What efforts have magically prevented them from being in Australia?

These criminals need to be removed from society immediately.

AFB have not found a building with “CCP Police Station” written in neon lights. Very reassuring copper.

Now freedom for most Is just a word like toast But you take it away You gon’ learn to say I wanna fly like a bird Over these walls Never to be heard of again That is all ....

I'm worried by how unworried this soldier seems. He's pretty bloody insouciant.

Round them up and put them in Jail for 20 years and then deport them.

That lacks so much confidence in the investigation by police ..

Does anyone believe a word that's spoken by anyone in a position of power these days, I don't and most people I speak to don't.

These TRAITORS should be Sacked

Semantics, he knows but wont tell.

they are operating in box hill in victoria

Afp officer, " If a building doesnt have a neon sign on it saying chinese police station then ss far as we are concerned then there is no Chinese police station in this country."

Snakey avoidance ... of a problematic issue that can only worsen over time for our Chinese citizens... 😢

treason means death

He's just embarrassed they weren't the ones to detect it. So they put their own ego's ahead of the country.

They had one in Ireland. Boycott "Made in China".

Surely, incompetence is not going to be tolerated?

I was in a USA podcast the other day that was mentioning they are in K-12 schools....which sounded chilling. As I'm renting and looking, I'm also noticing lots of Chinese branded property agents advertising as well. In the FIRB Foreign Investment Report 2020-21 it's around 30% Chinese/Hong Kong investors buying hold for capital gain. Or they send payments to student kids here and then they buy with or without offshore mortgage. Imported inflation? How is the RBA and FIRB tackling that? Smells like the Crown Casino money laundering?

Why don't they ask the question if we the voters want so many thousands of USA defense soldiers being recruited to Australia? Free Julian Assange

I had it confirmed by my MP that there was a Chinese police station operating in Australia.

Take it notice and nothing is ever answered.

the question is, what else are these foreign agents doing in oz?

That AFP representative is a glorified politician. I don't believe him.

Typical AFP joke.

Maybe this clip doesn’t include relevant context.. but this guy seems bizarrely contemptuous at being asked such basic questions that the public obviously want and deserve to know..

60 Minutes TAKING CARE OF AUSTRALIAN SECURITY....! 'not a physical police station'..... well no.... a 'venue where Chinese Police coordinate their business'..... lol.... well.... yeeeeeeees....! This AFP officer who doesn't sound Australian has visited the U.S. and spoke to the FBI.... well.... that must of helped. They would have only found the Chinese Police station if the Chinese police officers had names like Mohamed or Abdul... otherwise.... yeah nah.... they'd have no idea.

The only question is, "is this officer a weasel or a dork?"

Give us the names. We don’t trust these puppets

If these people are trying to politically influence foreign nationals in Australia surely this is enough for them to be departed or if possible charged with an offense and finally traded for the Australians who are currently being held as hostages in that foreign country.
