Brendan O'Connor (Gorton, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Home Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

It is quite remarkable that the shadow minister for justice and customs would indeed challenge the comments made by the Australian Federal Police commissioner. I repeat: the sanitised version, as the commissioner outlined, was provided to agencies inside this country and outside this country. This classified report was not provided to ministers of this government. It would have been improper for him to provide it. I cannot believe that the shadow minister again seeks to verbal the Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police.
