Employment Minister Michaelia Cash admits a staff member at her office tipped off journalists about Tuesday's raids on A-W-U offices. The tip off gave journalists the opportunity to be at the offices prior to the police arriving. A Buzzfeed article earlier reported a staffer leaked information to two journalists, a claim Ms Cash denied. Ms Cash has since investigated the matter and says the leak happened without her knowledge. Ivan and Winmas report.
