Brisbane Airport fence breach raises concerns
July 17, 2008, 7:15 pm
Queensland Police Minister Judy Spence says state and federal authorities will speak to the Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) about a security breach last night.
Police say a 39-year-old man drove his car through a security gate and onto the tarmac.
He was questioned by Federal Police but was not charged.
He was taken to hospital for medical assessment.
Ms Spence says it is a cause for concern.
"So that obviously presents a serious security concern for the Brisbane Airport Corporation and just is quite frightening how simple something like that can occur," she said.
