Tony Abbott closed the 'shocking failure' of the leadership of Anthony Albanian after it came to the fore that he was kept in the dark for nine days about a thwarted terrorist plot.
It has been revealed that Mr Albanese learned about a caravan loaded with explosives in the Dural – a presumably terror plot against the Jewish community of Sydney – on the same day as the public.
The police found the caravan on January 19 and NSW prime minister Chris Minns was informed on January 20 – but Mr. Albanese was not told until January 29, on the same day the police leaked the story to the media.
When Mr. Minns and Mr. Albanese stood side by side during a press conference of January 21 about the anti -Semitic fire bombing of a daycare center in Sydney, Mr Minns was aware that a potential mass of victim Terrorplot had been thwarted.
But the prime minister had no idea.
Mr. Abbott, who also held the top track from 2013 to 2015, described supervision as a 'shocking failure of leadership that stretches straight to the top'.
'It is difficult to take into account that the NSW police would discover sufficient explosives to kill hundreds of people in a caravan who belong to anti -Semitic activists with instructions that it was intended to kill Jews and that nobody would tell the prime minister, “He told the Premiere Daily Telegraaf.
“Either the authorities do not take public safety seriously whether they know that the prime minister is not taking it sufficiently seriously, so decided that he should be left out of the loop.”

Mr. Albanese was agitated on Friday while speaking with reporters and refused to say when he was first told about the thwarted conspiracy.
“What the right protocol is is to ensure that we do not talk about operational matters,” he said.
The revelation of the nine-day ignorance of Mr Albanese of the Terrorplot, comes as a man is being charged with an alleged anti-Semitic graffiti incident in the east of Sydney.
The NSW police would have caught a man on Friday afternoon and arrested in the action of the scratching Nazi symbols on a wall on Anzac Parade, Kingsford.
The multi-agency research into the caravan has now spread to Queensland, it was unveiled on Saturday.
The Queensland police have confirmed that they support the multi-agency probe that started in NSW when the caravan was first discovered on January 19.
“The police of Queensland, Security and Counter Terrorism remains involved and supports the New South Wales research with all the necessary resources,” said a spokesperson.
The police are still chasing the leaders who may have recruited two people in the suspected anti -Semitic Terrorplot.

Tammie Farrugia and her friend Scott Marshall have been accused of non -related violations in custody, in which the police said their arrests were made in the 'periphery' of the caravan case
Tammie Farrugia and her friend Scott Marshall have been accused of non -related violations in custody, in which the police said that their arrests were made to the 'periphery' of the case.
The couple had posted on Facebook last month looking for a caravan.
Farrugia and Marshall have not been charged with regard to the caravan and there is no suggestion for misconduct. But it is understood that the police of terrorism are investigating whether it has a few ties with bikie gangs or white supremacist groups.
Farrugia was arrested about an alleged anti -Semitic attack in Woollahra, in the east of Sydney, in December, while Marshall was accused of weapons and drug delicacies at the end of last year that he has not guilty.
They don't seem to have any history of extremist ideology that could support the warning of the Australian federal police commissioner Reece Kershaw that overseas actors could pay for small criminals to carry out anti -Semitic attacks.
