MediaWorks Response to Reserve Bank Statement

Mark Weldon, Group CEO, MediaWorks said: "MediaWorks unreservedly apologises to the Reserve Bank for this incident. Once MediaWorks was aware a leak had taken place, it conducted its own investigation to determine whether the leak had come from within MediaWorks and self-reported that to the Reserve Bank."

Regarding the specifics of the matter, Richard Sutherland, Acting Chief News Officer, said: "The leak was caused by a failure within News to follow proper process and changes have already been made as a result. We are addressing the breach with those concerned and new policies and training will be implemented moving forward."
