Скачать или смотреть Anthony Albanese slams former government over missing cabinet documents

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has slammed the previous Morrison government over missing cabinet documents from the time of the Iraq War.

Earlier this week, the National Archives of Australia publicly released 240 previously classified cabinet records from 2003.

However, some of the documents have been withheld from the public because the former Coalition government failed to hand them over with the rest of the records.

The 78 files won’t be released until the archives are given enough time to analyse the contents.

Mr Albanese said an independent review will be conducted to ensure transparency around the incident.

“Australians have a right to know the basis upon which Australia went to war in Iraq,” he said during a media conference on Wednesday.
