The federal government last year created a new superministry, combining the functions of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), Australian Federal Police (AFP), Border Force, Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), Austrac, and the office of transport security, into the Department of Home Affairs.
While the new portfolio is overseen by Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton, Minister for Law Enforcement and Cyber Security Angus Taylor used his time at the Technology in Government conference in Canberra on Tuesday to tout the creation of the new department as paving the way for government entities to work more “collaboratively”.
