Labor congratulates Mr Moriarty on his appointment.

 

He brings a wealth of experience to his new role: in our region, the Middle East and in Australia’s intelligence community.

 

We thank him for his continued service to our nation.

 

Labor believes in a seamless, integrated national security system, at every level.

 

Our goal must be to guarantee the best tactical response for any situation is available, and employed, without qualification or delay.

 

Labor will continue to be constructive, bipartisan and considered in our approach to national security.

 

Nothing matters more to Labor than keeping Australians safe and our country united.

 

Our record – in Government and Opposition – makes this plain.
