Description

The Speaker of Parliament, David Carter, allows two unidentified agents to rifle a 'top secret' box of a parliamentarian's possessions containing 'the usual crap MPs drop and leave behind', mainly of an embarrassing personal nature, and that they can 'take what you want'. One of them has found a list titled 'Movements and phone calls of journalists'. The Speaker has not checked the identities of the two 'snoops'.

Accompanying note from cartoonist states: 'There seem to have been no end of 'accidents' regarding Andrea Vance's phone records. Now the Speaker is apologising. Cartoon depicts The Speaker David Carter and two generic investigators.'

Parliament Speaker David Carter confirmed on 30July 2013 that three months of phone records detailing calls between Fairfax journalist Andrea Vance and people within the parliamentary precinct were handed over to a ministerial inquiry into the unauthorised leak of a report on the GCSB. The release of the information to the inquiry was unacceptable, Carter said, in his apology to Andrea Vance.
