Wow - that's pretty fucked.

Communications Minister Mitch Fifield told the ABC this morning that it wasn’t up to members of Parliament to determine what the AFP investigates:

“Well, it’s not for members of Parliament to determine what the jurisdiction of the Australian Federal Police is. The Australian Federal Police determine what is and what is not within their jurisdiction. The Australian Federal Police have accepted this investigation, they are undertaking it.”

So the Feds decide what's in their remit, eh? No - the appropriate legislation determines what's within their remit, and the Labour staffers may actually have a point here.
