Australian Federal Police (AFP) will establish protocols for joint anti-terrorist investigations with the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).

That follows release of the Street report which examined how the AFP operates with partner agencies in counter-terrorist inquiries.

AFP commissioner, Mick Keelty, said the AFP accepted all 10 recommendations which he said would significantly improve how future joint agency investigations were conducted.

"The recommendations cover the four broad areas of operational decision-making processes, joint task force arrangements, information sharing and training and education," he said in a statement.

"The AFP accepts all 10 recommendations and will work closely with the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and other national security agencies to ensure the recommendations are implemented as soon as possible."

The AFP will now develop a joint operations protocol with ASIO.

Mr Keelty said ASIO officers would soon be attached to the Melbourne and Sydney Joint Counter-Terrorism Teams, ensuring better cooperation between agencies at an operational level.

In addition, guidelines will be drafted on the role of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions in counter-terrorism investigations.

A committee comprising Mr Keelty, ASIO director-general Paul O'Sullivan and Commonwealth DPP Chris Craigie will be established to ensure national security issues, strategic priorities and enhanced interoperability are reviewed regularly.

The Street review of interoperability between the AFP and national security partners was conducted by former NSW chief justice Sir Laurence Street, former head of the Defence Signals Directorate Martin Brady and former NSW police commissioner Ken Moroney.

It was launched late last year in the wake of the failed prosecution of Ul-Haque, the Sydney medical student accused of training with the Pakistan-based terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET).

The prosecution collapsed when the trial judge ruled the conduct of ASIO agents constituted kidnapping and that made police interviews with Mr Ul-Haque inadmissible as evidence.

The Street review said this case demonstrated that the preconditions to criminal prosecution needed to be taken into consideration by security agencies.

The review said there had been, thankfully, few occasions that law enforcement and intelligence communities had been called to exercise new powers and functions granted under the suite of terrorism laws.

"However, there have been occasions where despite good intentions the agencies concerned have found that their operational imperatives overlapped and were sometimes in conflict," it said.

The review pointed to a number of areas where improved structures, processes and systems were needed.

"It is important that this be done lest the effectiveness of Australia's response to terrorist threat is eroded by prosecutions that fail for essentially procedural reasons," it said.
