ABSTRACT
Cross-border law enforcement strategies between Member States of the European Union (EU) and between Australian federal, state and territory jurisdictions have become a focus of attention with the abolition of borders in both systems (Monar et al. 1996: 247; Bronitt 2009: 2, 4). While the abolition of controlled borders is still a recent phenomenon in the EU, Australian states and territories effectively abolished border controls with the advent of Federation in 1901 (see Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imperial)).
