Peter Dutton is now getting to the crux of why the Coalition has spent the better part of two question times asking the prime minister when he was told by police of their investigation into the caravan of explosives police say was to be used against the Sydney Jewish community.

Dutton asks:

“Premier Minns’ was open and honest with the people of NSW when he briefly provided confidence to the public in declaring what date he had been advised of the planned terrorist attack by this unknown organisation or people or individuals. The Prime Minister has been embarrassed because he was not advised by the police because they were worried about him leaking the information ahead of any action by the police….“

Tony Burke is IMMEDIATELY on his feet calling for the imputation to be withdrawn. Dutton argues it is “a fact” and Albanese can say if he was misrepresented at the end of question time. Burke pushes again, so does Dutton and Milton Dick rules that Dutton re-ask the question without the imputation.

Dutton is “happy to assist”

“Premier Chris Minns was open and honest and transparent with the people of NSW when he declared that on the 20 January he was advised by NSW police about the planned terrorist attack. The prime minister has been asked on multiple occasions to be honest, open and straightforward with the Australian public as to why he was notified. The prime minister has previously advised dates he was notified of serious events by the AFP. Why can he not be honest with the Australian people?“
