‘I support ASIO’: Shadow Immigration Minister commends Mike Burgess

ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess does an “outstanding job” protecting Australia’s national security, says Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson. “I strongly support Mike Burgess,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia. “I support his entire team, I support ASIO; it’s a wonderful organisation that does very important work in the national interest and for our national security. “It’s not in our country’s interest for them to be politicised, and that’s why I’m very disappointed that the Prime Minister tried to use Mike Burgess as a political shield.”
