My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister concerned about an ASIO bulletin circulated on 15 October regarding the proposal to move Australia's embassy to Jerusalem, which the Prime Minister announced on 16 October, that was marked 'secret, Australian eyes only'? Is he concerned about it being leaked from within the government, and why did the Prime Minister fail to initiate a full cabinet process to fully consider the serious implications of his proposal?
