My question is to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister cooperate fully with any police investigation into the leak of false and damaging details of a private and confidential conversation with the President of the United States of America?

The honourable Leader of the Opposition’s question goes to the newspaper article of 25 October. Again, I would draw his attention to the answer to the earlier question. I also ask him to reflect on what did happen in the Andrew Wilkie affair, when I seem to recall that an ONA classified document found its way into a Melbourne newspaper in a quite mysterious set of circumstances. Perhaps the Leader of the Opposition, or those opposite who were party to that, could inform the House as to what then transpired.
