I've just find this...
From slashdot.org (//yro.slashdot.org/yro/06/02/01/0549240.shtml)
"News.com is reporting that in Australia, recent attempts by a photo club to take pictures of industrial installations was met with police resistance. From the article: 'Club member Hans Kawitski was told not to photograph industrial installations [1] and was ordered to inform members of the camera club to follow his lead. Liberty Victoria said its advice to photographers would be to ignore the directive. "The police have got no place making such warnings," president Brian Walters SC said.'"

I'm not surprised. In the USA, we'd probably run into similar situations if trying to shoot at a major port, airport, or power plant. Given the world situation, I appreciate their concern.
If I wanted to take these kind of shots, I'd stop in at the management office beforehand and let them know who I am and what I'm doing. Usually it'll get an OK, and even an official visitors pass to avoid security issues.

From what you have said I think what they were doing was legal.
I would ignore their request (after contacting my legal consultant to make sure) and carry on as they enforce the law they dont make it.
