War crimes office wants to know who tipped the cameras off

The office prosecuting Roberts-Smith couldn't keep his arrest off the morning bulletins and has now asked the corruption watchdog to find out who in the building was running the press list.

Someone in the building tipped off the cameras so the perp walk had a film crew. The office investigating war crimes can't keep a Tuesday morning arrest off the front page. Talleyrand ran a foreign ministry on whispers; we can't run a press embargo for forty minutes. Refer it to the NACC — they'll investigate it the way the AFP investigates the AFP.
