Helen Liddell

Asked if the Prime Minister thought it was helpful for Helen Liddell to say that he had never seen Iraq as part of the war on terror, the PMOS said that if the reporter actually looked at the quote in full it makes it clear what Helen Liddell was stating is the fact which was we didn't say that the war on Iraq was about terrorism, but she then went on to say that it is a fact that terrorists are now trying to use the war in Iraq and we are facing terrorism in Iraq.  In terms of Australian press coverage, that was more about Australian politics and that was not something he would comment on.

Attorney General

Asked if the comments made by the Attorney General in the Guardian meant there would be something new in the terror bill regarding the questioning suspects, the PMSO said it would be better left to the department to talk about the bill.
