I am sorry, Senator Abetz's statement. I can confirm that the Australian Federal Police have received a referral from the Department of Defence regarding the possible unauthorised release of the information to which he refers. The AFP issued a media statement saying that it will evaluate the matter in accordance with its normal protocols. While the matter is being evaluated, it is not appropriate—for reasons that the senator will understand—for me to comment further.
