Dual citizen charged with luring 15 PNG students in human trafficking scheme
A woman allegedly responsible for the human trafficking and forced labour of 15 students from Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been arrested. The woman, a PNG-based Australian and Nigerian citizen, was arrested by Australian Federal Police officers at Brisbane Airport on Wednesday. It is alleged the 56-year-old lured 15 PNG students to Australia with promises of full educational scholarships between March, 2021 and July, 2023. Police allege that upon their arrival, the students were instead forced to sign legal documents to pay previously unmentioned tuition fees, airfares, insurance, visa applications, and legal fees. The students were then allegedly forced to work at farms across Queensland - at times in contravention to their visas - where their wages were withheld and used as payments for their 'excessive' debts, police say. The woman's arrest followed a lengthy investigation by the AFP's Northern Command Human Trafficking Team into a group of PNG nationals who were allegedly being forced to work on farms against their will after moving to Australia to study. She has since been charged with four counts of trafficking in persons, 14 counts of deceptive recruiting for labour or services, and 13 counts of engaging in conduct that caused a person to enter into debt bondage. The 56-year-old appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday, and was granted conditional bail to reappear in court on September 19. AFP Detective Superintendent Adrian Telfer said the organisation was committed to protecting vulnerable foreign nationals from exploitation in such schemes. '(Alleged) victims of debt bondage and other human trafficking offences can be lured to Australia with a promise of a dream career or free education, things they may not have access to in their country of origin,' Superintendent Telfer said. 'If the conditions of that promise change, it can leave (alleged) victims in an extremely vulnerable situation in a foreign country, where they are likely to have little financial or emotional support, and face issues with language barriers. 'The AFP can help people who are exploited and is focused on ensuring the welfare of (alleged) victims.' Anyone who is being exploited or knows someone being exploited at work in Australia has been encouraged to contact the AFP.

Prime minister 'missing in action' as Indigenous legal services call for national cabinet on deaths in custody
Indigenous legal services say the prime minister is "missing in action" and should convene a national cabinet meeting over rising Aboriginal incarceration rates and deaths in custody. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this article contains the name of an Indigenous person who has died, used with the permission of their family. The case of 24-year-old Kumanjayi White has sparked grief and anger in Indigenous communities across the country. The Warlpiri man— who lived with a disability — died in police custody last month, after he was restrained by plain-clothed officers on the floor of Coles in Alice Springs. On Saturday, another Indigenous man died at Royal Darwin Hospital while in the custody of federal police, about a week after he was detained. National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Services (NATSILS) has urged federal Labor to bring all state and territory premiers and chief ministers together to work towards "justice" for First Nations people. "We absolutely need the federal government to be making sure that mass incarceration — not only in the Northern Territory, but right around the country — and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is placed onto the agenda of national cabinet," said NATSILS chair and Wiradjuri lawyer Karly Warner. "At the moment the prime minister is missing in action. Ms Warner said the Northern Territory justice system had been "spiralling for years and the federal government has known about this". "It is absolutely on the brink and requires urgent and immediate intervention from the federal government to ensure that it actually reforms and the transformative action occurs," she said. The North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA) has also called for an "emergency intervention" into the territory's justice system, and for First Nations leaders and Commonwealth and NT authorities to address the territory's soaring incarceration rate. Since the NT's Country Liberal Party (CLP) came to power in August and rolled out a suite of tough-on-crime measures, the prison population has risen by more than 500 people, with almost half of all prisoners on remand. Since Kumanjayi White's death, the chairs of the NT's Central and Northern land councils have raised concerns about a deteriorating relationship between Aboriginal Territorians, the government and law enforcement. Ms Warner said the Commonwealth could make sure funding agreements with the NT government were tied to "transformative justice system change". "Access to justice is a huge problem nationally but also specifically in the Northern Territory, where we have the highest incarceration rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of any jurisdiction," she said. "We've heard words from the prime minister, both four years ago but also in May in his victory speech, talking about how his government would be a government that would work towards reconciling Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. "When we have 36 per cent of the national prison population being made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, we have to ask how is it that they can achieve [that]. "This is really requiring political buy-in. It is not time to step back." Speaking at the National Press Club on Wednesday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said no government had "done well enough on any of these areas". "We attempted last term to break with business as usual. We attempted to do that. I think we can't be accused of shying away from that," he said. Mr Albanese said the Voice referendum result showed that "we need to find different ways of engaging respectfully and listening". When asked if he supported calls for a federal intervention into the NT's justice system, the prime minister said he needed to be "convinced that people in Canberra know better than people in the Northern Territory about how to deal with these issues". His office has been contacted for comment. Ms Warner also echoed calls for an independent investigation into Mr White's death in custody, which have been led by his family and backed by NT federal MP Marion Scrymgour. "An independent investigation is the absolute minimum that must occur here to ensure that the family get the answers that they deserve," she said. "No Australian jurisdiction has got a completely independent system for investigating deaths in police custody. "The federal government could set up a system and should set up a system to ensure there are independent investigations into deaths in custody." NT Police Acting Commissioner Martin Dole has rejected requests for the investigation to be handed to an external body, saying there are strict procedures regarding "deaths involving police contact with the public". NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro has also labelled those calls "ridiculous" and "unhelpful in the extreme". "What it does is undermines confidence in the very people whose job it is to undertake these matters, and that is the Northern Territory Police Force," she told ABC Radio Alice Springs on Thursday.

Alleged Alameddine gangster Ali Elmoubayed targeted in Merrylands shooting
Fresh chaos has hit Sydney's criminal underworld, with three men now in custody for the apparent targeted shooting of a home linked to the alleged boss of the brutal Alameddine crime network in Australia. The shooting happened about 9.20am, with police officers called to the Earl St home in Merrylands in the city's west. Bullets were fired at the house, but nobody was inside at the time. Both the ABC and The Sydney Morning Herald report Ali Elmoubayed, the alleged head of the Alameddine enterprise, is linked to the address but dodged the shooting after reportedly leaving beforehand for the Parramatta Magistrates Court to request a change of bail address. A short time later, a burning Porsche was located in Beverley Crescent in Chester Hill, NSW Police have confirmed. 'The group left Chester Hill in a Hyundai before being arrested on McMahon Rd in Yagoona trying to flee from police on foot,' police said in a statement. 'They remain in police custody. 'Crime scenes were established at both locations, which will be forensically examined by specialist police.' The shooting has been referred to Taskforce Falcon. Detective Superintendent Jason Box, the commander of Taskforce Falcon, is expected to update media on the shooting at 2pm AEST.
