Councillor Kennedy from the Broken Hill City Council said that for the member for Brisbane to make statements like these is irresponsible and a case of political point-scoring. Kennedy says, ‘If a terrorist does take over a flight from Broken Hill the finger will be pointed at Bevis.’ I think the reality is that it is high time the opposition were responsible in dealing with these issues. We have acted constructively to improve airport security. They should recognise the improvements that have been made and not seek to undermine them with reckless and irresponsible claims.
