PM addresses House on security; fails to address Dutton's remarks

The Prime Minister has provided a national security update in the lower house, speaking on the threat of terrorism in Australia and the Asian region. It follows uproar over comments in parliament from the immigration minister that most of Australia's foreign fighters had Lebanese Muslim heritage. Minister Peter Dutton also said it had been a mistake, for that reason, to welcome Lebanese Muslims to the country in the 1970s under Malcolm Fraser's leadership.
