FEDERAL Labor MP Craig Thomson has been caught out plagiarising a report after a $24,000, 42-day overseas study trip.
Fairfax Media says Mr Thomson passed off speeches by overseas officials and outdated Wikipedia articles as his own work.
It said a compilation of overseas travel reports tabled in parliament last month also concealed Mr Thomson's failure to submit his report within the 30-day deadline.
It was eventually handed in four months late.
The Labor MP spent at least $23,899 of his overseas travel entitlement between March 26 and May 8 visiting Britain, Ireland, France, Spain and the US.
Fairfax said more than 60 per cent of Mr Thomson's 33-page report, including most of its analysis and commentary, had been cut and pasted from internet sources.
It said Mr Thomson's analysis of US fiscal policy was lifted from a speech given by John Lipsky, first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
