I work on the basis that some things can be true even if the coalition says they are true. Under the previous conservative government, the previous Attorney-General was well known for his requests for members of the public to approach the security hotline—in fact, he was rather mocked over that issue. Nonetheless, I would ask the Attorney-General: what is the government doing to encourage the community to report suspicious behaviour to the National Security Hotline, and what are the issues that are involved from the government's point of view?
