The head of Victoria's parole board says counter-terrorism police raised no concerns about Melbourne siege gunman Yacqub Khayre [YAH-koob KY-ree] before his release.

The Prime Minister is playing down suggestions from Victoria that Australia's spy agency should have the power to intervene in future parole decisions.
