My question is to the Minister for Home Affairs. I refer to the minister’s answer yesterday when he said the reason the AFP report entitled Strategic Intelligence Forecast—Transnational Criminal Trends and Threats to Australia could not be released was because it relates to operational matters. Can the minister explain how advice and commentary on government policy can be characterised as an operational matter? Will the minister clear these matters up once and for all and release the report?
