i haven't seen it either but i have a different take on it.
It's a beat up alright, beat up by Labor in their "Get Abbot" campaign. Inciting federal police to over react to a non event was supposed to make Tony look bad, but, of course, success needs a new definition when Labor are in charge of a plan...
This is what you call an own goal.... giving one's self an uppercut, shooting yourself in the foot etc etc
