Australian investigative journalist Cameron Stewart, who broke the Scorpene data leak story, speaks exclusively to 'The Hindu'. One of Australia’s leading investigative reporters, Cameron Stewart of The Australian, has reported that thousands of pages of secret documents detailing various capabilities and characteristics of the Indian Navy’s Scorpene submarine project have been leaked. If these data falls into the hands of a foreign power, it could seriously compromise India's latest and most expensive submarine project. However, if it is with a rival then the Scorpene submarine project is seriously compromised. There is no reason to worry that the Australian submarine programme is compromised.
