FED:Abbott says NIT report "very interesting"

The federal government's been accused of dirty tricks and deception following claims
a number of senior people in the prime minister's office were involved in the Australia
Day security breach.

An unnamed source has reportedly told the National Indigenous Times a number of people
within JULIA GILLARD's office knew the protesters were going to be tipped off about Opposition
Leader TONY ABBOTT's whereabouts.

The NIT has described its source as holding a senior position within government bureaucracy,
although the report hasn't been confirmed.

It comes after about 200 protesters descended on a restaurant angry at what they mistakenly
believed was a call by Mr ABBOTT to remove the Tent Embassy.

Mr ABBOTT's told the Seven Network it's another example of the dirty tricks and deception
we get from the GILLARD government.
