And I think it's fairly obvious that when you have someone from the military, or another role, with very limited training and experience manning the border, they will understandably not be operating at the same level of expertise in, for example, spotting the signs of trafficking or abduction, as someone who is trained and experienced in the role.
A knock-on effect is to be expected, but again, all reports indicate that the public impact has been minimal.
I don’t think that’s “fairly obvious” at all. In fact, I think it’s nothing more than baseless conjecture because Armed Forces personnel receive training of their own designed to help them recognise and combat human trafficking. It’s known as ‘Human Security in Defence’ and the 77th Brigade of the Army is dedicated in large part to delivering training internally and externally.
