What happens is fisheries officers will cordinate a property search with police officers as police can search without a warranty under some conditions. Police and fisheries work very closely together.

https://www.gallantlaw.com.au/victorian ... al-rights/

"Typically, a police officer must have a search warrant and suspect an offence to search someone’s home or property in Victoria. However, a police officer can, without a search warrant, enter and search a home either with the consent of the occupier, or when the police officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that a person in the house has committed an offence, is committing an offence, or intends to commit an offence."
That is how it was likely done, just not mentioned in the post. But also good law enforcement officers can dupe people into inadvertently providing them with an invitation. Its not a bad thing by itself, just something that has to be remembered.

Thanks for the link, now I know that Fisheries have some of the Water Police and Forest Ranger powers, which is not a bad thing really, as they would be likely to encounter unlawful behavior. As long as they cannot give parking tickets ))
