Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I refer again to the leak to the Australian of the conversation between the Prime Minister and the United States President. I note that, if that conversation were leaked by a public servant other than with the authority of the Prime Minister, this could constitute an offence under section 70 of the Crimes Act and, if by a ministerial staffer, an offence under section 79. I ask the Prime Minister: why hasn’t the Federal Police been asked to investigate these leaks? Is it because, in truth, it was the Prime Minister who was the leaker?
