My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to newspaper reports today which contain leaked national security documents and which also extensively quote the member for Warringah. This morning the Leader of the House said:

There are no more classified documents than ones that are in the National Security Committee.

He also said:

The government will take this leak to the Australian very seriously.

Given the seriousness of this matter, has this national security breach been referred to the Australian Federal Police?
