ABF Assistant Commissioner Tim Fitzgerald said"the removal of the woman indicated how seriously the ABF was taking the alleged facilitation of illegal sex work".“We work very closely with our partners, including the Australian Federal Police and Queensland Police, to combat the myriad of issues associated with this sort of crime type,” said Assistant Commissioner Fitzgerald.

“When illegal prostitution is facilitated, other serious issues are often present. In addition, all non-citizens in Australia are required to hold a valid visa for their stay,” he added.
