And it's not, it's not that often we see Anthony Albanese very emotional, so perhaps that's a testament to how respected she is, I guess.

Rob HarrisGUEST
I, I've followed politics obviously in Canberra for a long time and, and, and this has been an in- sort of an in issue.

Rob HarrisGUEST
MP safety's been a- an issue that's slowly sort of really, um, gathered a lot of momentum internally.

Rob HarrisGUEST
There have been MPs for, for six or seven years saying this was, this day was coming, you know.

What happened, and why did it take so long for the Prime Minister to tell people what took place?

Rob HarrisGUEST
So what we know is that around about June 18, the OpenAI agent was basically sort of scraping, uh, a Medicare statistics site, uh, and penetrated further than, uh, perhaps it should have.

Rob HarrisGUEST
And from what we can gather today, on around about September 10, so that's three or so months afterwards, it, it notified the government.

Rob HarrisGUEST
Now, the Prime Minister said it, it sent an email to sort of a public email address, and that's how it first found out.
