Security breakdown led intruder to Aussie PM

A man who breached security to approach Australian PM Julia Gillard was an identified troublemaker who spent 40 minutes visiting the restricted offices of the Wayne Swan and then-Speaker Peter Slipper without being apprehended by security staff.

A Senate committee heard the extent of the security bungle that allowed Artem Naumov to walk into a press conference on August 23rd and hand the Prime Minister a note which said: "How Could This Happen? Terrorism, Foreign Defence Intelligence Threats, Deaths and Zero Response from Australian Law Enforcement".
