On the eve of the release of the 2017 Federal Budget, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced the Australian Federal Police will receive an additional $321.4 million over the next four years to fund the expansion of forces.

It’s speculated that funds from foreign aid will be diverted to cover the cost of the boost.
