De­fence Min­is­ter Wayne Sturge says the Gov­ern­ment is legal­ly jus­ti­fied in re­fus­ing to dis­close cer­tain na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty in­for­ma­tion, ar­gu­ing that the law clear­ly per­mits of­fi­cials to with­hold de­tails that could threat­en the coun­try’s de­fence or in­tel­li­gence op­er­a­tions.
