Question here: If you received a secret briefing of this sort that revealed something absolutely appalling happening, would you be able to reveal it publicly on the floor under parliamentary privilege? I'd imagine that'd probably put an end to future briefings, but beyond that would there be any real consequences?

Thought that might be the case. Was just curious as I've heard this mentioned as a "safe" way to leak in the US, and wasn't sure how similar our laws were.
Anyway, keep up the good fight! Would definitely be voting for you were I in WA (will still likely be voting Green, but it's a bit less automatic here in NSW for reasons you're no doubt entirely aware of).
