Reference is made to your correspondence to the Australian Federal Police (AFP) dated 12 August 2012 regarding your enquiry about AGIS.

The AFP is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for investigating crimes against the Commonwealth of Australia. From the information you have provided, it appears that no relevant Commonwealth offences have been committed and therefore the matters raised cannot be investigated by the AFP.

The AFP does not hold overarching powers over other Commonwealth Agencies. 

You may wish to contact the Commonwealth Ombudsman.  Their contact details can be found at www.ombudsman.gov.au

A copy of your correspondence has been recorded by the AFP.

Re AGIS
.Dear Commissioner Negus,
 I refer to the following email to which I have received no reply.
I will ask you again and make it clear to you what I am seeking.
 What safeguards have the Australian Federal Police  put in place that Australian Government Agencies comply with  Australian Government Investigation standards?
Again this is another example of the incompetence of the Australian Federal Police who posses no obvious  powers in Australia.
Please could you advise me  how the Federal Police also  intend to  monitor this taking into consideration clear lack of foresight?
As with my previous email I remind you that should this matter go to court you will be subpoenaed to justify why the Commonwealth Ombudsman and the Australian Public Service Commission are able to protect  systemic corrupt conduct in Government Agencies using the investigation methods that you have revised.  
Thank you
Fiona Brown

.Dear Mr Negus,
I understand  the Australian Federal Police has been involved  in a programme which has revised the  IGIS, or Australian Government Investigation standards.
 You will be aware this is a requirement under the Financial and Accountability Act.
I am also aware all Government Agencies involved in this must complete training programmes.
However, Internal noncompliance with legislation in Government Agencies have allowed systemic corrupt conduct to flourish.
This is particular in the Insolvency Trustee Service, Commonwealth Ombudsman and the Australian Public Service Commission.
It is clear now that although investigation standards do exist there is no safeguard that agencies comply with them.
I am  now refer to section 4.8
Agencies are to refer any matters to the AFP for possible investigation where there is substantial evidence of criminal activity or suspected criminal activity by a member of an Agency fraud investigation , control prevention or compliance unit. The AFP will also consider investigating matters where there could  be a real or perceived conflict of interest if the matter were to be investigated by the Agency concerned(for instance , where the allegations concerns a member of the executive with some responsibility for the Agency's investigation function)
 The Insolvency trustee Service Australia is aware it's Principal Legal Officer Matthew Osborne is giving Legal Advice to Trustee that the Bankruptcy Act may be breached using S134(3). This gives discretion to  a trustee, however it is limited only to property realized.
According to Matthew Osborne this section gives a trustee discretion on all aspects of the Bankruptcy Act. It even extends to discretion as to misleading creditors.
Please would the Australian Federal Police  advise me what powers have been put in place by them when they are made aware of the serious breaches by a number of Government agencies of the AGIS to cover up atrocious misconduct.
If this matter should go to court  be aware I will  subpoena you  to give evidence  on your negligence .
Thank You
Fiona Brown
