CSOC Report "fake" according to Australian DoD

A few people have been asking about a 'leaked' document which purports to be a threat assessment from Australia's top "cyber police". It deals with the hacking collective, Anonymous, sports an Australian coat of arms and is labelled, "Restricted". It is hosted by hacking website, Cyberguerrilla.

The document makes claims about Anonymous' structure which seem either inspired or ridiculous with evidence favouring the latter. Certainly the claims have been ridiculed by the hacking community. Their sweeping, counter-intuitive nature, the amateurish writing and exaggerated threat level suggest that it's a fake document.

If it's fake how come the AFP have been called in to investigate it? Wouldn't you just view it as a parody?
