Senator Pocock says Albanese adviser vetted bipartisan AI letter before it reached PM

Independent senator David Pocock says a senior adviser in Anthony Albanese's office made edits and approved lines in a bipartisan AI policy letter before it was sent to the prime minister.

Notes seen by Guardian Australia show some edits were made 35 minutes before the letter was sent on Monday night, and Pocock says he gave feedback at 9:55pm without knowing it had already gone.

The committee chair, Jo Briskey, rejects claims the work was predetermined and says the report is due 30 November.
