The Attorney-General has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:
(1)Beyond broad guidelines, the Australian Government does not disclose specific security planning for Heads of State. In any event, the security preparations for the visit are only at the preliminary planning stage, and it is not yet possible to ascertain the extent or cost of the security requirements.
(2)Beyond broad guidelines, the Australian Government does not disclose specific security planning for Heads of State.
The question was asked on 11 September, the Bush visit happened on 23 October and Justice Minister Ellison provided this less than helpful answer to the Senate on 27 October. Timing is everything.
