Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

There are some people who in the past have understood why these issues are important—that we back up our national security agencies rather than seek to undermine them. One of those was indeed quoted in February 2022, when the former government was in place:

The chair of parliament's joint committee on intelligence and security, the Liberal senator James Paterson, has rebuked the defence minister, Peter Dutton … for referencing classified information during last week's hyper-partisan brawling over national security.

Of course, that was when the Leader of the Opposition was claiming both 'open source and other intelligence' confirmed that Labor was somehow, according to him, Beijing's pick at the 2022 election. That of course was before he became pro-China just last week.
