Praise for PM migrant stance: Triggs

Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs has praised Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull for his stance against linking refugees with the deadly attacks in Paris.

Amid reports a Syrian passport used to enter Europe through Greece was found near a suicide bomber, Ms Triggs called for political leaders to show courage and warn against associating the two issues.

"There will undeniably be those who say that the relatively open borders have made it easier for terrorists to get in," Ms Triggs told ABC radio on Monday.
