Malcolm Turnbull won't back Brandis as both sides go to war on terror
afr.com:
"With both parties dredging through years' old statements by rival candidates to discredit them on national security and asylum seekers, Senator Brandis said that Peta Murphy, who is trying to wrest the seat of Dunkley from the Liberal Party, should be dumped because of her "tolerant attitude" towards terrorist organisations.
In 2009, Ms Murphy was a signatory on a submission by Liberty Victoria sent to then Labor attorney-general Robert McClelland calling on him to deny the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the police stronger powers to detain terror suspects without charge.
But when asked twice by reporters on Sunday whether he believed Ms Murphy should be dumped, Mr Turnbull said "I'm not going to comment on the candidate, the Labor candidate"."
