Prime Minister Billy Hughes orders a military raid on a Brisbane printing company to seize copies of the Queensland Hansard. This sparks a series of events that culminates in the creation of the Commonwealth Police.
The Australian Police Journal (APJ) is Australasia's pre-eminent record of true crime and policing issues.
The APJ is published quarterly on behalf of all the Police Commissioners of Australia in order to educate and inform police and interested members of the community, in policing and related topics - both contemporary and historical. From its humble beginning in October 1946, the journal now has over 23,000 subscribers throughout Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific region and beyond.
The APJ is administered by a not-for-profit company representing all the Australian police services. Its articles are written by police and related professionals, and have a direct relevance to Australian policing.
