The AFP’s deputy commissioner, Ian McCartney, told the Senate earlier this year that a range of reviews were under way in relation to the case, but that he would authorise a similar operation again.

So he's saying he'd willingly make a mistake again? Guy should be out of a job.

Ian should be replaced.

Yep. It's quite a good deal, when you think about it. People are only upset because they promised it would only cost 300k. If they'd quoted 1mil, they could've come in under budget and everyone would be stoked! Always under promise and over deliver 😎

Are the AFP employees (coppers) aware they are the wrong people to be handling this? They had an opportunity to help this kid, and instead just accelerated a terrorist operation until they could punish the victim.

That would allow James Bond type espionage at the poker table. No Martini :BlobHajMlem: will blow your cover.

AFP child abusers. Who cares about the cost. This operation was harmful to the community and to the child, who has a right to/needed proper education around ethics & morals not this cloak & dagger manipulation.
