Former Liberal treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who has been outspoken in his criticism of the federal government\u2019s response, said on social media platform X: \u201cPrime Minister, your announcement today of an internal departmental review of law enforcement and intelligence agencies is wholly inadequate. To use an Australian colloquialism it\u2019s bullshit. It\u2019s weak, it\u2019s wrong, it\u2019s an abrogation of your first and fundamental duty to protect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nationals leader David Littleproud told Sky News he believe Albanese did not want a federal royal commission because of what it might uncover.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should look at the failings of decisions made at a political level, at intelligence levels. And many of these agencies are at a federal level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Albanese said on Sunday the intelligence and law enforcement review would build on previous work done on the Independent Intelligence Review.<\/p>\n
