Federal Labor MP David Feeney, who forgot to declare a $2.3 million house, is back in hot water after accidentally leaking his party's campaign tactics.

The member for Batman left secret talking points given to him by Bill Shorten's media adviser behind at SKY News after a difficult interview in which he confused the school kids and baby bonus policies.

The memo advises on sensitive topics such as Labor campaign merchandise being made in Bangladesh, asylum seeker policy, negative gearing and the economy.
