For Government maintaining national security and the integrity of its borders and protection of its citizens from general criminality, Serious Organised Crime and Terrorism, along with the bio-threats to public health, natural resources industry and, agriculture require constant vigilance to prevent the entry of those who constitute a threat to the nation.
Facilitation and Security are two equally important objectives that must be balanced by effective national security policy. Tourism, business, inward-investment, and the import and export of labour are high on the list of national priorities.
These priorities are fundamental to the design of a nation’s security and border management policy that will have minimal barriers to the legitimate and free movement of people and goods, but provide a disincentive to entry for those seeking to circumvent national laws and border control.
