I have a strong belief that the Minister for Defence has tried very hard to ensure that this incredibly sensitive matter has been dealt with appropriately. The leaking of the information, as I have said, is very regrettable for the reasons that I have already stated. I was handed a brief while Senator Bishop was asking his supplementary question. It makes the point that the story written by Mr Box that appeared in Monday’s paper could in its entirety have been written based on a close reading of the bureau of inquiry’s transcripts. The government’s plan is to release the report very soon, after the government has briefed the family.
