So why is this different to the supposed leaks from whatever party is in Government?

Is it different? The only difference I see is that Tony Abbott is no longer in the box seat.

Good ones too.....

Now he has more than annoyed the IPA -

Even when, as part of this strategy, the Prime Minister unveiled a new national security pitch on Monday, he provoked fresh concern from his one-time libertarian support base when he flagged "stronger prohibitions on vilifying, intimidating or inciting hatred".

John Roskam, the executive director of the libertarian think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs, said he had been contacted by several like-minded Liberal MPs who believed this statement was a complete reversal from Mr Abbott's previous promise to water-down section 18c of the Racial Discrimination Act, which makes it illegal to vilify people on the basis of race.

Mr Abbott dumped the pursuit of 18c last year, believing it would make the domestic fight against terrorism harder because it was alienating the Islamic communities that he wanted to be part of "team Australia".

"You can't 18 months ago try and repeal 18c and then 18 months later say we are going to toughen it up," Mr Roskam said

The boat is sinking way faster than I can recall in any other government - even the last.

The big difference is that the leaks are coming from those who aren't happy and even from those that purport to be his allies.

Malcolm must be sitting back feeling pretty smug at the moment.

When you have 39 members that were willing to show their lack.of faith un our glorious leader all his dirty little secrets are going to be exposed. Takes a lot of denial to think that all is going to be hunky dory when a good few are willing to announce their displeasure with the captain for the captain to think he'll be alright to carry on
