Richard Marles to receive additional security amid scrutiny over $3.6 million flightsDeputy Prime Minister Richard Marles is set to have his security detail increased, with a review to be carried out by the Australian Federal Police. News.com.au political editor Samantha Maiden approached the Defence Minister on Tuesday morning while he was going for a run around Parliament House with another Labor MP. The incident was not seen as a threat to the Deputy Prime Minister, but a security assessment will look at all aspects of his current arrangements. The Defence Minister has security for some events but does not have permanent security.
