Can be nasty. Apart from a massive fine you can be held without charge and removing your Freedom of rights. Apart from the department of defence you are trespassing on Aboriginal lands. There is a less onerous punishment for that. A few thousand dollars.
from the act
Additionally, section 72M provides that security authorised members of the Defence
Force may use a dog to assist with the conduct of searches and other functions and
powers under Part VIA. This includes a power to restrain and detain a person, remove
a person from defence premises or arrest a person under 72P (which deals with
trespass). Section 72 provides that a member of the Defence Force, a civil
police
officer or an Australian Federal
Police protective service officer may, without
warrant, arrest a person for unauthorised entry on defence premises or
accommodation.
Under Part VIA, detention is lawful in certain circumstances and the provisions
outline the circumstances to be satisfied to ensure detention is not arbitrary.
