    The federal government has refused to launch a broad inquiry into Securency's suspect dealings and the extent to which they involve failings by the RBA and agencies such as Austrade, which helped select some of the company's middlemen.

    The Age has learned there is extreme sensitivity in various government departments about the implications of a wider inquiry into the Securency scandal, with fears further exposure could damage Australia's international relations with several countries that use the company's polymer banknotes.

    Government sources have said that among the potentially explosive evidence uncovered by the AFP are documents suggesting a senior trade official engaged in highly unethical behaviour to help win Securency contracts overseas.

    Ministers, including Treasurer Wayne Swan, and RBA governor Glenn Stevens have repeatedly refused to comment on the scandal. Securency's board is chaired by an assistant bank governor.
