Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

It was bad enough to see John Setka attacking the integrity of the AFP—bad enough to see the way in which he flaunted his and his union's defiance of the law. Then it was even worse when we saw the member for Gorton echoing that disrespect, that contempt for the law last night. But now we see the member for Watson standing up here in the parliament and stating what he knows to be utterly untrue, alleging that the Federal Police does the political bidding of the government. That is a shocking allegation against the Federal Police. It's a shocking allegation against the government. But above all it impugns the integrity and the professionalism of the men and women of the Federal Police who work so hard to keep us safe. Labor should be ashamed of themselves.
