Did the Prime Minister remove the heads of our intelligence agencies from NSC because they were telling him things he didn't want to hear? Senator Watt interjecting— Senator PATERSON: Will the Prime Minister commit to reinstating the heads of our intelligence agencies as regular attendees of NSC so they can provide the candid and considered national security advice that this government so desperately needs to hear? The PRESIDENT: Before I call the minister, Senator Watt, I'm going to ask you to withdraw those comments. Senator Watt: I withdraw. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. Minister Wong.
