Mr Speaker, my question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the leak of a cabinet document marked 'Protected: Sensitive: Cabinet'. Is it government policy that there will be personal and political consequences for leaking? And, given leaks from cabinet are an offence under section 70 of the Crimes Act, what action will the Prime Minister take to address this cabinet leak, which was aimed directly at him?
