Prime Minister Scott Morrison called for Mr Shorten to denounce Mr Keating's comments, saying the agencies had prevented 15 terrorist attacks in Australia. Labor leader Bill Shorten has distanced himself from Paul Keating's attack on Australia's security agencies, with Labor ruling out a shake up if it wins the election.

Mr Keating, who was Labor prime minister between 1991 and 1996, has called for top security agents to be sacked in a bid to improve relations with China.

Mr Shorten says he doesn't share Mr Keating's concerns.
