The honourable member omitted one important fact, which was the information that he is describing as having been referred to in the Fairfax press. Apparently it was something on Wednesday and Thursday. Were you talking about Senator Dastyari? Is that right?

Mr Burke interjecting

No, very good. He's referred to Senator Dastyari, and my response is very simply this: that leaks of national security information should never occur, full stop. If the honourable member is alleging that a security agency was responsible for putting information into the press then he should make that allegation plainly.
