Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says there’s “no point pretending there’s nothing to see here” on China, as a split opens between senior ministers over Andrew Hastie’s incendiary warning that Beijing poses a major threat to Australia.
In a strong defence of his colleague on Friday, Mr Dutton said the former SAS captain and chair of Parliament’s powerful intelligence and security committee is “privy to a lot of information and intelligence briefings that other members of Parliament aren’t” and was entitled to speak out.
