When asked on Radio National whether she would be aware if her budget was going to be cut again Ms Bishop said, "well you'd hope I would be, wouldn't you?"
"So I'll certainly be taking that up with the Treasurer to find out the source of that story."
Later in the morning, Ms Bishop was asked by reporters who was leaking the reports.
"Well it's certainly not me, because I'm not aware of it," she said.
"I don't know ... we'll have to ask Greg Sheridan who his source was."

- which is an issue in itself
