Independent senator Jacqui Lambie has called for more vigorous vetting of Syrian refugees, arguing screening has so far failed.
Speaking in the wake of the discovery of a stolen passport near the body of a suicide attacker in Paris, Senator Lambie says there needs to be greater scrutiny of the 12,000 refugees Australia is accepting from Syria.
"The refugee vetting process has not only failed in France, but also the other Western cultures, including Australia ... and it must be fixed so our citizens' safety comes first," she told ABC radio on Wednesday.
