The immigration minister has backed Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) boss Duncan Lewis in the face of criticism for refusing to link refugee resettlement with terrorism.
One Nation leader Pauline Hanson and former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, are among those to accuse the head of the domestic spy agency of misleading the public.
Mr Lewis is standing by his statement to Senate Estimates that there's no evidence of a connection, stating of the tens of thousands of refugees to have come to Australia a "very small number have become subjects of interest for ASIO".
Peter Dutton says refugee status shouldn't be singled out.
A man has been charged with allegedly threatening to blow up a Malaysia Airlines plane flying from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur.
A 25-year-old Sri Lankan national faces two charges against the Crimes Aviation Act.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH128 was forced to turn back to Melbourne shortly after take-off on Wednesday night.
The man allegedly claimed to have an explosive device.
He was restrained by other passengers and crew.
Police say the incident was not related to terrorism and he was not carrying an explosive device.
