Why was he on parole - Turnbull

The prime minister is calling out andrews as to why this man was on parole in the latest terror attack.

Just seen a bit on the tele as well, I'm sure dan will have some excuse as to the reason why

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has raised "grave questions" about why Yacqub Khayre, the gunman responsible for Monday night's deadly siege in Melbourne, was on parole despite a known record of violence and extremism.

Mr Turnbull said he had raised the issue with Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and flagged it would be a "high priority" at a COAG meeting of federal and state leaders scheduled for this Friday.

"How was this man on parole?
He had a long record of violence.
A very long record of violence.

He had been charged with a terrorist offence some years ago and had been acquitted. He was known to have connections, at least in the past, with violent extremism," Mr Turnbull said on Tuesday morning.
