Crimes handed the notebook back but published a few stories. Moriarty said he commended the paper for doing that.

Dreyfus is asking Defence to break down the classification levels. AUSTEO: Australian Secret Eyes Only, as in literally only Australians can see it (not sure if this means not even our Five Eyes mates can see it)

Dreyfus is now asking whether Annika Smethurst was wrong on her ASD story. (Home Affairs skipper Pezzullo said it was earlier.) Again, they seem to be arguing about what ASD would be capable of not so much what was being proposed they do. (Spy on Australians without a warrant.)

Defence secretary said he believes the story harmed Australia's national security because it detailed ASD's cyber capability. Dreyfus: "Where in the story does it talk about ASD's cyber capability?" Moriarty refers again to what was proposed in the yarn.

Moriarty: "Floating and canvasing those capabilities in public ... is harmful to the national interest."

ASD acting director general Frewen says the article sought to undermine public confidence. Dreyfus says he's not sure Frewen can say what the article sought to do. Frewen concedes.
