Furious Dutton says Burke is lying about caravan plot briefings

Peter Dutton, the Opposition Leader, claimed he was briefed about the caravan incident on January 30 after requesting it, contradicting Minister Tony Burke's statements that Dutton avoided the briefing.
The Australian Federal Police declared the caravan a fabricated terrorism plot aimed at instilling fear in the Jewish community, and there was no risk of a mass casualty event.
Burke accused Dutton of recklessness regarding national security for not seeking information during the incident, while Dutton labeled Burke's comments a 'crass' political attack.
Details surrounding the incident suggested that authorities suspected the plot was a hoax early on, with the AFP stating it was a 'criminal con job' aiming to cause fear for personal gain.
