Another issue is that there were concerns about the way Kevin Rudd, as Prime Minister, neglected the administration of national security. It has transpired that Mr Rudd compromised the National Security Committee of Cabinet by not turning up for crucial meetings. Commonwealth officials and cabinet sources have indicated that Mr Rudd showed "a casual disregard" for the national security committee, at a time when Australia was engaged in a war and wrestling with its border security policy. It was not uncommon for Mr Rudd to allow his 31-year-old chief of staff to deputise for him on the committee when he was either late or simply did not attend at all.
