It's telling that the Wikipedia page for ACIC and AFP have not a single mention of corruption.

Australian LEAs/LEOs are notorious for their corruption and criminal enterprising, see:

'Unlawful' conduct by federal police took huge bribery case to brink of collapse (2017) https://www.smh.com.au/national/unlawful-conduct-by-federal-...

These 2 books that focus on events pre-2010:

For something less academic I highly recommend Underbelly[1] especially the first 3 seasons and "Underbelly: Infiltration"[2]. While very entertaining, it's accurate on events and shows how much AFP are the most powerful and dangerous gang in town (no matter whether you're in Queensland, NSW or Victoria).
