Home affairs minister says opposition leader’s ‘recklessness has caught up with him’
Tony Burke has claimed the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, was “conned” by a Sydney caravan plot that police have declared fake and should “apologise” to the public.
The Australian federal police revealed on Monday the explosives-laden caravan found earlier this year in the outer Sydney suburb of Dural was a “fake terrorism plot”. The AFP deputy commissioner, Krissy Barrett, said investigators now believed the caravan incident was concocted by criminals who wanted to cause fear for personal benefit.
