It certainly was not me who called the Australian Federal Police Keystone Cops; it was in fact the Labor Premier of Queensland. And it wasn’t me who made allegations that he had not been informed about threats to Queensland buildings. I need to advise senators on the other side that over 200 Queensland police officers were involved in that inquiry and, if the Premier of Queensland was not advised, it was because his own police officers refused to tell him anything because he talks and talks about operational matters, which I have always refused to do.
