Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) officers seized documents from ABC offices in Parliament House in the capital, Canberra, and in the cities of Brisbane and Melbourne, the state-owned broadcaster said. The ABC revealed it possessed thousands of cabinet documents which had been found inside surplus government filing cabinets. The cabinets were sold at a discount price because they were locked and no-one could find any keys, the broadcaster reported. Mr Abbott was replaced in 2015 by Mr Turnbull. “It’s not so much a Cabinet leak as a leaked cabinet,” Mr Abbott said.
