“The revelations that the Australian Federal Police allowed the Ministry of Public Security to apparently operate with impunity on Australian soil is gravely concerning,” Paterson told Guardian Australia on Tuesday. The Chinese embassy in Canberra was contacted for a response to Paterson’s comments and the ABC report.
