Albo’s secrets are supposed to protect us, not erode our security

The conservative position on national security is typically to trust our military and national security agencies to do their job and to do it well. After all, we expect that these people prioritise our national security, often at the expense of their families and their personal interests. And keeping secrets is part of the job.

But keeping secrets about tourist visas for refugees fleeing a war zone created by Hamas, the proscribed terrorist organisation that attacked Israeli civilians enjoying a music festival (and took scores as hostages, including children), we have to wonder who is being protected.

When it is our Prime Minister who is keeping these secrets, then it is a matter of national interest.
