    The Shadow Minister for Finance called on Wayne Swan to answer whether he or his office leaked a confidential Treasury note to a newspaper. The leak during an election campaign was a serious criminal offense that could impact the election outcome. Swan refused to initiate an investigation, despite past Labor support for inquiries into other adverse leaks. Coincidentally, Swan was in Canberra when the note was leaked. The Shadow Minister demanded Swan answer simply "yes or no" if he was responsible for the leak.

    Media Release

    The Hon Andrew Robb AO MP


    Shadow Minister for Finance and Debt Reduction
    Federal Member for Goldstein

    Friday 13 August 2010

    SWAN MUST ANSWER: DID HE LEAK TREASURY NOTE?


    Wayne Swan must today answer whether he or his office leaked an alleged
    confidential Treasury note to the Sydney Morning Herald.

    This morning on “AM” Mr Swan dodged a question about whether he was


    responsible for the leak.

    The leak of this alleged Treasury modelling during an election campaign is a


    serious criminal offence with the potential to have a significant impact on the
    outcome of the election.

    Mr Swan has refused to instigate an Australian Federal Police inquiry into the leak,
    despite Labor having fallen over themselves in other cases of leaks – adverse to the
    Government – to instigate inquiries.

    Coincidentally, Mr Swan was in Canberra on the day the note was apparently
    leaked.

    Mr Swan must answer: did he or his office leak this note?

    Yes or no.
