when we touch down in queensland some thing was going on only got a few pics

nice pics

I think the AFP do something with airport security as I've seen them at quite a few major airports.

Nor sure where the line between federal and state is and whether its hard or fuzzy.

Airports are all on Federal Crown land, so its within AFP duristriction. State police do attend to assist, but its AFP's party.

AFP patrol Airport land and will be the first on scene and deal with small crimes issues incidents and if something goes down, however state police will take over upon arrival to a major incident.

Most of the Perth based 'AFP' are actually WAPOL on secondment for > 12 months to make up numbers... Therefore they can deal with everything on Airport and simply handover 'the baddie' to the local station.
