The Prime Minister is resisting calls for an investigation into how a photograph of a young diplomat who reported concerns about the conduct of a former minister was leaked to the media. Jamie Briggs resigned from the frontbench after admitting to inappropriate behaviour towards the female public servant at a Hong Kong bar late last year. Before and after her complaint was lodged, Mr Briggs shared a photo of the woman with some of his colleagues -- which has since been published by The Australian newspaper. As David Sharaz reports, the opposition wants the incident investigated.
