My question is again to the Prime Minister. I refer to his answer to my previous question, in which he expressly failed to deny that he or his office leaked details of the conversation with the United States President to the Australian newspaper. I also refer to the Australian Federal Police investigation into the disclosure of confidential files in Kathmandu and also to the Department of Defence investigation into the leaking of a confidential briefing relating to entertainers visiting our troops in Afghanistan. I ask the Prime Minister: what investigation has he instigated into the false and misleading leak of details of a private and confidential telephone conversation with the United States President?
