The proud boast at the top of the website for the Department of Home Affairs says: “Home Affairs brings together migration, cyber and infrastructure security, national security and resilience, and border-related functions, working together to keep Australia safe.” However, a joint investigation by 60 MINUTES, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age reveals a very different picture. Nick McKenzie reports significant systemic failings in the department that have compromised Australia’s border security, allowing overseas organised crime gangs access to the country, and making their lucrative trade in violence, drug trafficking, money laundering, corruption, slavery and worker exploitation much easier. For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes. #60MinutesAustralia
