Federal and state governments bicker over parole after Brighton attack
Attorney-General George Brandis (AAP)
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 Federal Government is still struggling to understand how he was granted parole despite having terrorism links. The Prime Minister is playing down suggestions from Victoria that Australia's spy agency should have the power to intervene in future parole decisions.
