FED: Ellison must come clean on airport security

Labor says the federal government must reveal how security cameras at Sydney Airport
were sabotaged .. and what it's doing to ensure baggage is safe.

Backbencher JOHN MURPHY says two security cameras aimed at baggage conveyor belts at
the airport were moved to point in the wrong direction on three occasions between October
2004 and May 2005.

He says Customs Minister CHRIS ELLISON must tell passengers when the cameras were sabotaged
.. and how the problem was investigated.

Mr MURPHY also says the allegations raise fresh concerns about the case of SCHAPELLE
CORBY .. jailed for 20 years in Bali for drug smuggling.

CORBY has always said someone else .. possibly a baggage handler at Sydney Airport
.. planted the drugs in her luggage.
