My question is to the Prime Minister. Given the Prime Minister's assertions that she takes national security seriously, why when she was Deputy Prime Minister did she not attend all meetings of the National Security Committee and instead send her bodyguard?

Clearly, the opposition now has shown what it thinks of national security: it thinks it is a joke. Because they think it is a joke they are showing they are unfit for government. The Leader of the Opposition, in sanctioning that question, is showing he is unfit to lead.

The member for Greenway has the call. The member for Greenway will resume her seat. The member for Mackellar is seeking to table a document?

I am indeed, Madam Speaker. I seek leave to table a report from the Australian bodyguard deputised for Gillard, with photographs.
