In parliament, opposition leader accuses Anthony Albanese of misleading the house by selectively quoting Australia’s spy boss Mike Burgess
Labor has accused Peter Dutton of being a “sook” and throwing a “tantrum” in parliament after he failed to force Anthony Albanese into giving a personal explanation
Burgess had said: “If they’ve been issued a visa they’ve gone through the process. Part of the process is, where criteria are hit, they’re referred to my organisation and Asio does its thing.” “We’ve got used to the fact that they’ll throw a tantrum if they can’t be in charge … But I never thought they’d play that game on national security,” Burke said.“At the moment, we’ve got a debate where he wanted to go after Palestinians. But before that, it was Africans, it was Lebanese, it was Muslims.
Earlier on Monday Albanese was asked if Dutton is racist and replied that he thought “Peter Dutton is deeply divisive and that creates a risk”.“Peter Dutton knows full well that the same security agencies, indeed the same personnel, in many cases are looking after national security issues. If he doesn’t have confidence in them, he should say so.”
