Arch Bevis (Brisbane, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Aviation and Transport Security) Share this | Hansard source

My question without notice is to the Minister for Transport and Regional Services. I refer the minister to the answer he gave regarding the open gate at Australia’s busiest airport. Minister, isn’t it the case that, even though you tried to reassure the House that the gate was not a security point, shortly after question time yesterday it became one, when security personnel were posted to that very gate? Why didn’t the minister put guards at the gate to protect Australians, when he is prepared to put guards at the gate to protect the Howard government against bad media coverage?
