On a number of occasions this week the Prime Minister has claimed that I have not sought security briefings. I have had multiple briefings from ASIO, including from the director-general. I have had briefings from the Australian Federal Police, from Border Protection Command and from customs. I have had numerous briefings on intelligence and on defence, and most recently I had a briefing from the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. The Prime Minister should stop misleading on this subject.
