On Tuesday The Canberra Times published an article on the Australian Federal Police investigation into the alleged leakig of documents to a member of the staff of Opposition foreign affairs spokesman Lauire Brereton. It stated that the AFP had obtained a warrant to search for documents about East Timor, Washington, Honolulu or douments that related to a number of named people. The Canberra Times now makes clear that no adverse inference should be drawn against any of the people named in the warrant. Such warrants are typically very widely drawn. In particular, mention was made of one of those named, former Department of Defence official Matthew Skoien and the fact that he has moved to Queensland. Mr Skoien moved to Queensland as an ordinary career move to the Premier’s Department.
