My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Revenue and Financial Services, Senator Cormann. On Monday evening this week, Sky News reported that the budget would include a bank levy. The next day, bank shares fell nearly four per cent, wiping $14 billion off their valuations. It was also reported during budget day, the AFR reporting details about the bank levy and sources. Can the minister confirm if there was a leak from the Treasury and whether he is investigating any leak?
