Phon sting should be investigated by asis

A foreign media organisation has been involved in a long process of planning and executing a sting against a registered political party.

Regardless of what they found I have the following questions;

Did these people involved in the operation work in Australia on correct visas? ie did they have the correct permissions to be here? Because they weren't tourists.
Why was phon targeted? Why them in particular?
Are there other operations underway by foreign actors against any other of our registered political parties?
Was there covert or undeclared support given to this sting operation by the ABC, the government or the opposition? Federal or state government agencies?

We need a royal commission into this matter.
