Barnaby Joyce is caught seemingly unaware of the furore over his Government’s release of private information, in what the Opposition is describing as a total disaster of a media interview.
The Australian Federal Police has been asked to investigate Social Services Minister Alan Tudge who authorised the leak of blogger Andie Fox’s personal and protected Centrelink details in response to a story she wrote.
The Government is also pushing for new powers that would allow it to release a veteran’s personal information, should it wish to correct public statements.
When asked on The Project about whether it was appropriate for the Government to release private information, Mr Joyce appeared confused.
“If someone has broken the law, then I suppose that in that instance then it’s basically, it’s going to be investigated,” he said as the hosts looked puzzled.
