At AUSTRAC, one of our most important roles is to help the police keep kids safe from abuse. We work with the @ACCCE_AUS, @AusFedPolice & other partners to detect & prevent child exploitation. Learn more about National Child Protection Week #ncpw20 https://t.co/E2eO7kivJZ

We have received confirmation that tonight’s @MAS service to Melbourne (MH149) will fly.
• Also:
- Perth service on 6th (nearly full)
- Melbourne on 8th
- Sydney on 9th
Confidence in these flights is high b/c bookings are high (incl on the return leg).

AUSTRAC is saddened by the passing of the Head of @PPATK, Pak Kiagus Ahmad Badaruddin, on 14 March. Pak Badar was a champion in the fight against organised crime and terrorism, a key leader in the AML/CTF field and a great friend and collaborator with AUSTRAC. Vale Pak Badar.

@MAS Yeah, have spoken with your call centre as no ground crew airside, nothing they can do. Not happy. Poor response to assist a One World Emerald member.

[Pete Williamson @pwilliamson_au]

@mas I’m in MH720 ex Jakarta which is now delayed to 2130. Can you please assist?
