Sharri Markson urges government to 'listen' to ASIO boss after Islamic terror warning

Sky News host Sharri Markson has urged the federal government to listen to ASIO boss Mike Burgess after he highlighted Islamic terror as a threat in Australia. "You have to ask, after the assessment that we heard from ASIO last night, are the senior government leadership listening to their security heads?", she said. “Burgess' security assessment should be encouraging Australia to enhance its relationship with countries like Israel that hold intelligence that could help ensure the worst scenario Burgess outlined doesn't happen,” Ms Markson said. "The reality is, being tough on China and terrorism doesn't suit Labor politically or ideologically. "It does matter that ministers aren't speaking plainly and clearly about the gravest threats to our nation, and that they're also not developing tougher laws to address these threats.”
