editFolklore - a thrown egg
editIn Australian folk lore, it is sometimes believed that an egg thrown at the then Prime Minister, Billy Hughes, in November 1917 was the initiator for the formation of a predecessor organisation of the AFP.
While the egg throwing did occur, and did result in the formation of an organisation called the Commonwealth Police, this organisation was disbanded in 1919 and never evolved to become part of the AFP.[1][2]
Two, later, separate, and different organisations, one formed in 1927, and one formed in 1960, also both called the Commonwealth Police at one time, eventually became part of the AFP.
