Thanks s47F Have contacted s47F at DEWR and requested advice on storage of birds. I have suggested that as a short term measure we take the birds to the bird farm at where we can photograph and band the birds for later identification / continuity. riff rfl Will ring back with their advice (as lead agency for wildlife matters). I also requested a check to confirm no permits issued to either s47F or to export the birds.

I have rung s47F and advised NT Invest are handling this matter with NT DoA.

NT Invest are seeking advice from their hierarchy on what steps to take as DoA have indicated that one of the scenarios may be that they may have other wildlife on the aircraft.

AOD will be supporting NT Invest by taking the Invest officers to the RAAF base and also assisting where required.

Good morning s47F

As mentioned in my voicemail that I left, we have been advised that RAAF Richmond identified the Indonesian Aircrew aboard a C130 to have native wildlife (Galahs) on board.

Indication is that Customs in Darwin would like to interview a member/members of the Indonesian Crew to establish Australian supplier details to further investigation.

I am attempting to clarify the intent of Customs here so I can provide the RAAF Darwin hierarchy some situational awareness (although not necessarily a RAAF issue, with the political situation as it is, I would just like to keep hierarchy in the loop just in case).

In any case, Air Movements Section here have been given a heads up to facilitate any Customs agents should they require a room for interview etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hello s47r

As discussed this afternoon some background on some information received from SECPOL at Richmond RAAF Base.

Approximately 1515 I received a phone call from s47F (Air Force Security) at Richmond RAAF Base.listated that they had received some information regarding persons attempting to smuggle native wildlife out of Australia via Richmond RAAF Base. The information came from the owners of a bird farm minutes drive from RAAF Richmond. The persons bought 5 galahs along with 2 cages from this bird farm at approximately 1430 hours today. The persons were described as beingqiinglir k47F s47F , 547F and were driving owned by s47F s47F 1111WRIPPI . The name given by one of the persons was is an Indonesian national who flew into the country on 270CT2013. Fs47 gave mobile numbers47F as a contact. Subsequent to this the persons returned to the farm approximately 1 hour later to purchase 2 more cages for the birds. The contact at the bird farm is 447F

I contactecr7F to see if rr had any more information in relation to this.647F advised that the persons purchasing the birds said they had a plane leaving Richmond RAAF Base - NFD. They also asked questions about clipping the birds wings and wrapping them in plastic. The owner of the shop advised them of the requirements to export these birds.

s47F s47F Information was then received from SECPOL that is part of an Indonesian delegation tasked with taking back to Indonesia the C130 Hercules aircraft that have been FOI Document #58

purchased by the Indonesian government. The first of these aircraft are due to leave Richmond RAAF base on Friday 29 Nov 2013 at 0900. To the best of my knowledge the plane will be going via Darwin. I am not sure if it will be overnighting Darwin or just refuelling and continuing on to Indonesia. These details will be confirmed in the morning. I am unsure if s47F is a crew member or part of a delegation overseeing the movement of these planes to Indonesia . I will be able to access the paperwork in relation to this delegation in the morning sometime.

A couple of things:

There is the possibility that s47F is exporting these birds through the correct channels.

If not I need some advice in relation to how to go about this given the potentially sensitive nature of this. Subsequent to advice from Canberra I will be briefing Investigations in Sydney in the morning in relation to this matter.

I am not sure of the numbers of crew/passengers travelling on this flight. s47E(d)

Hi s47F

Please find documents relevant to your investigation so far.

Appears to be some concern that the birds were handed over because they were noisy, raising the suspicion there may be more wildlife attempted to be exported. (is that bad English?)

Allegations of wildlife smuggling

Two Indonesian nationals have been questioned by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) in relation to alleged wildlife smuggling.

As this is an ongoing ACBPS investigation it would not be appropriate to comment further.

Australia has very strong laws to protect our wildlife against illegal activity and ACBPS takes any attempt to breach those laws seriously.

Talking points

• I have been advised that Customs and Border Protection officers last night questioned two Indonesian nationals in relation to alleged wildlife smuggling.

• The Indonesian nationals involved were assisting Customs and Border Protection in their investigations.

• In consultation with the CDPP and considering the evidence available Customs and Border Protection decided that there were not sufficient grounds to prosecute, but a warning has been issued to one of the men.

• Customs and Border Protection will not be taking any further action in relation to the second man.

• I have spoken this morning to the CEO of Customs and Border Protection and am assured that due process has been applied, as I and the Government would expect.

• I can say Australia has very strong laws to protect our wildlife against illegal activity and Customs and Border Protection takes any attempt to breach those laws seriously.

If asked: Why was a prosecution not commenced?

• Customs and Border Protection investigators considered the CDPP's advice about strength of case, the likely defences that could be mounted in a prosecution and the prospect of a conviction.

• On this basis Customs and Border Protection investigators decided that a successful prosecution of the first man was unlikely and that a warning was the appropriate action to take.

If asked: Were the men members of the TNI?

• The advice I have is that the man who was warned by Customs and Border Protection was associated with the transfer of the C-130 aircraft from Australia to Indonesia.

If asked: Did Customs and Border Protection give these men any special treatment?

• No FOI Document #74

Item: REPORTS ON A BREAKING NEWS STORY ABOUT THE INDONESIANS SMUGGLING NATIVE BIRDS OUT OF AUSTRALIA.

Audience: Male 16+ Female 16+ All people 70000 70000 140000 7 However, there's an even bigger story breaking and would you believe it's over native birds that the Indonesians have tried to pinch - have tried to smuggle out of the country? And this is the first you'll hear of it.

Now, what happened, I had a call off-air from a listener near Richmond RAAF base in Sydney North West. Now, as you know, he told me he'd seen two Hercules C-130 aircraft take off, painted with the Indonesian livery. Now, I'd spoken previously about the plans to hand over nine Hercules C-130 aircraft to Indonesia, which might have been postponed because of this phone tapping crisis. We contacted to see if a transfer took place yesterday, they came back to us late last night saying the C-130 handover program is continuing is planned, Defence has no further comment.

Now, we then got a tip this morning when we got to work about another problem involving the aircraft. We were told there was an attempt by Indonesian military personnel to smuggle a number of live native Australian birds out of the country onboard one of the C-130s. I was told by my informant that onboard one of FOI Document #75

the aircraft were five Galahs and a number of other native Australian birds.

Well, then it gets a little worse. Another email arrived this morning telling me that Indonesian Air Force staff were intercepted with a number of live Australian native birds entering the RAAF base at Richmond yesterday morning. Now, they tried to smuggle the birds onto the aircraft to get them out of the country, they were there to take delivery of the Hercules aircraft, gifted to them from the Australian Government. The staff, in other words the Air Force staff at the RAAF base at Richmond, intercepted the bids being smuggled.

So, I can confirm that's true. Well you wouldn't believe it, they then landed these two aircraft, as I've told you already, in Darwin for refuelling. A Customs inspection took place in Darwin, and they discovered more concealed birds. Now, the big story is that the birds and the aircraft have now been impounded in Darwin. So, the aircraft won't be going to Indonesia just at the moment, they'll be staying exactly where they are, and that's in Darwin with the impounded birds as well.

So, I know it's embarrassing for us when it's discovered that there is spying in 2009 and the phones of the Indonesian President and his wife are tapped, but how embarrassing is this for the Indonesian Government? They send over Air Force personnel to this country to collect gifted Hercules aircraft, they send them over here to gift them, and lo and behold they try to smuggle native Australian birds out of the country. FOI Document #75

I repeat, yesterday it was a number of live Australian birds, five Galahs and a number of other birds, we don't know exactly what they were. And then, obviously, having suspicions raised, Customs intercept the two aircraft when they refuel in Darwin, and more Australian birds are there. They're there. By the way if you're trying to phone through at the moment, I've just been told that our phone lines, for some inexplicable reason, are down, and they'll be back up as quickly as we possibly can, so if you're trying to phone through at the moment with some news for me, just delay that by three or four minutes and I'll tell you when the phone lines are up and running again. And when you do that it's 131873.

So there you have it. Quite remarkable, quite remarkable. And these aren't, you know, people that have come to the country illegally and trying to smuggle birds out, these are member of the Indonesian Air Force, and we've heard reports before about police and the military in Indonesia being absolutely corrupted. I mean, how would you in any sense think you're going to come to a country, take home a gifted aircraft, and try to smuggle native birds out of the country? I mean, what's the mind set there?

Anyway, what we've done this morning - the attempt to smuggle them out was picked up by RAAF personnel at Richmond, and then Customs intervened as well in Darwin. We've asked the Office of the Defence Minister, Senator David Johnston, if he was aware of the incident, they have come back to us and said this: Defence is aware of the incident you're referring to, it's FOI Document #75

now a matter for Customs. We have no information on it at all.

We've now put questions to Customs about this, and I guess - well I would take exception with what the Defence Minister is saying, if in fact RAAF personnel were the ones that detected the first lot of birds at the RAAF base in Richmond, well that's certainly not a matter for Customs, that's a matter for the Defence Force. The second set of birds that were concealed on the aircraft that were detected by Customs, yes I can understand that being a matter for Customs.

But in any case, we'll chase the story through the morning, but a really embarrassing one for the Indonesian Government with their Air Force personnel trying to smuggle native Australian birds out of the country on two gifted Hercules aircraft.

KEY FACTS/KEY FIGURES

• The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (Customs and Border Protection) was informed by RAAF Air Force Security Richmond about information it had received from the owner of a bird farm regarding the purchase of five (5) galahs and two (2) cages to persons who said that they were due to depart on an aircraft from Richmond RAAF Base.

• Customs and Border Protection conducted follow up enquiries with the owner of the bird park and RAAF Air Force Security and established that the buyers of the galahs was most likely Indonesian crew members tasked with flying a C130 Hercules to Indonesia.

• The Indonesian crew members attended Richmond Air Force Base and when asked by RAAF Air Force Security whether they were carrying any Australian wildlife surrendered five (5) galahs in a wooden cage and two (2) Indian ringneck parrots in a small wooden box.

• Galahs are a regulated native specimen and a permit from the Department of the Environment is required to legally export them from Australia. Indian ringneck parrots are not native to Australia and not a protected species.

• The crew members boarded the C130 and the aircraft departed for Darwin where upon arrival it was searched by Customs and Border Protection officers. Two (2) Indian ringneck parrots were found amongst the luggage aboard the plane. The aircraft was not scheduled to depart for Indonesia till the next day.

• Two (2) crew members were formally interviewed by Customs and Border Protection officers. Following consultation with the Office of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions regarding the elements of the relevant offences, Customs and Border Protection officers decided that based on the available evidence a successful prosecution of the first crew member was unlikely and that the second crew member had not committed any offence. A formal warning was issued to the first crew member by Customs and Border Protection.

Hello s47F

As discussed this afternoon some background on some information received from SECPOL at Richmond RAAF Base. FOI Document #90

Approximately 1515 I received a phone call from"IF (Air Force Security) at Richmond RAAF Base.r stated that they had received some information regarding persons attempting to smuggle native wildlife out of Australia via Richmond RAAF Base. The information came from the owners of a bird farm 6471" minutes drive from RAAF Richmond. The persons bought 5 galahs along with 2 cages from this bird farm at approximately 1430 hours today . The persons were described as being"" s47F s47F s47F and were driving a S47F owned by

The name given by one of the persons was 547F 847F is an Indonesian national who flew into the country on 270CT2013. r gave mobile number s47F as a contact. Subsequent to this the persons returned to the farm approximately 1 hour later to purchase 2 more cages for the birds. The contact at the bird farm is

I contacted.' to see if U had any more information in relation to this. "advised that the persons purchasing the birds said they had a plane leaving Richmond RAAF Base - NFD. They also asked questions about clipping the birds wings and wrapping them in plastic. The owner of the shop advised them of the requirements to export these birds.

Information was then received from SECPOL that s47F is part of an Indonesian delegation tasked with taking back to Indonesia the C130 Hercules aircraft that have been purchased by the Indonesian government. The first of these aircraft are due to leave Richmond RAAF base on Friday 29 Nov 2013 at 0900. To the best of my knowledge the plane will be going via Darwin. I am not sure if it will be overnighting Darwin or just refuelling and continuing on to Indonesia. These details will be confirmed in the morning. I am unsure if s47F is a crew member or part of a delegation overseeing the movement of these planes to Indonesia . I will be able to access the paperwork in relation to this delegation in the morning sometime.

A couple of things:

There is the possibility that "" is exporting these birds through the correct channels.

I am not sure of the numbers of crew/passengers travelling on this flight. s47E(d)

The information came from the owners of a bird farm 547G(1)(a) 111111111111k. / minutes drive from RAAF Richmond. The persons bought 5 galahs along with 2 cages from this bird farm at approximately 1430 hours today. The persons were described as beings47F and were driving owned by s47F 1,11111r s47F imp The name given by one of the persons was 7F is an Indonesian national who flew into the country on 270CT2013. ‘47F gave mobile numbers' as a contact. Subsequent to this the persons returned to the farm approximately 1 hour later to purchase 2 more cages for the birds. The contact at the bird farm iS547F

I contacted 647F i to see ifs475had any more information in relation to this. S47F advised that the persons purchasing the birds said they had a plane leaving Richmond RAAF Base - NFD. They also asked questions about clipping the birds wings and wrapping them in plastic. The owner of the shop advised them of the requirements to export these birds.

A couple of things:

2 FOI Document #95

There is the possibility that s47F is exporting these birds through the correct channels.

I am not sure of the numbers of crew/passengers travelling on this flight. s47E(d)
