Julie Bishop knows she didn't leak from cabinet but the foreign minister is less sure what the prime minister meant when he said ministers had since had a "come to Jesus moment" on the issue.
Tony Abbott read the riot act to his cabinet on Monday reminding them of the "personal and political consequences" of leaking.
He described the cabinet meeting as having had a "come to Jesus moment" - a term often used in US politics for a time to examine core priorities.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten subsequently used question time on Tuesday to ask Mr Abbott about one of the potential leakers - Ms Bishop.
In response, Mr Abbott said the foreign minister was doing "fine work" overseas.
Ms Bishop on Tuesday was in Paris for a meeting of the coalition fighting Islamic State terrorists in Iraq.
She was forced to again deny leaking details of a plan to give the immigration minister the power to strip Australian terror suspects of their citizenship.
"I absolutely reject any suggestion that I was involved in leaking the details of a cabinet meeting on the citizenship issue to any journalist," she told reporters when quizzed on the issue.
"I'm sleeping easy at night - my conscience is clear."
Ms Bishop said the leaking was "very unhelpful" and she was in favour of honest, open, frank and confidential discussions in cabinet.
But asked if she thought colleagues had indeed had a "come to Jesus moment" the foreign minister laughed.
"I'm not quite sure what that phrase means in this context," Ms Bishop said.
"I wasn't at the cabinet meeting on Monday night so nobody can accuse me of even discussing what went on."
Ms Bishop further rejected a suggestion she took extensive notes in cabinet.
"We have an official note taker so there's no need for me to do so. It's a silly, mischievous suggestion."
The West Australian MP did, however, admit to occasionally drafting a speech or two in cabinet if she was required to deliver one afterwards.
