But not only that, in what one suspects is a bit of Malcolm turning it on to placate the idiots in his own party, we get this:
Politics Live: June 23, 2015: 3:03pm: Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull is asked about Zaky Mallah's appearance on Q and A.I presume he hasn't read what appeared on the News.com website today:
Mr Turnbull essentially asks what would have happened had Mr Mallah threatened the safety of guests and audience and crew members present for the filming.
"Mr Mallah was a known quantity....It beggars belief that he was included in a live audience. Surely we have learned to take threats of this kind, people of this kind, extremely seriously. The idea that there were no physical security checks on this audience or that this man was allowed in is extraordinary."
Back home he has spoken out against clashes between the Islamic
community and police and actively discouraged radicalised Australian
Muslims from joining the Islamic State.
“Young people in Sydney
and Melbourne who are considering joining ISIS, you don’t know what
you’re doing to your family,” he told The Project.
“You are harming yourself, you are harming the Islamic community.”
He called young Australians fighting in Iraq and Syria “idiots and wankers who are giving Islam and the Muslim world a bad name.
“I hope ASIO is on to you, I hope your passport is refused and I hope you’re arrested and locked up.”....
Mr Mallah said: “The Islamic community in Australia is one of the worst communities in the world.Sure, the Mallah's still an idiot for his temper tantrum too, but it sure doesn't sound like he's someone who's a threat to a studio audience. Can everyone calm down?
“Every
time I jump on Facebook, all I see is negativity ... Look at what we
have become. I don’t care if you follow a specific ideology or school of
thought, the Islamic community has dropped to a new low.”

I thought in a democracy you ventilate views no matter how stupid.
Gotta say he made Ciobo look real good!
What threat is Turnbull talking about. Surely if he was a threat then the police would take action?
