My question is to the Minister for Human Services. I refer to a report last night from BuzzFeed News that the office of the then justice minister tipped off a newsroom so that TV cameras turned up at the sites of AFP raids before the police even did. A spokesperson for the minister is quoted in that report as saying yesterday, 'Neither the minister nor anyone in his office informed media outlets prior to the execution of search warrants.' Is that statement accurate?
