		Laurie Oakes has copped plenty of flak for revealing the alleged affair between Cheryl Kernot and Gareth Evans.
		LAURIE OAKES: If I'd done nothing, in my view I was allowing a particularly false version of what happened to be accepted and a lot of people getting the blame for things that I don't believe they should have been blamed for.

	Crikey Website - Laurie Oakes's famous budget leak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		It was the biggest political scoop in Australian history, the story that made Laurie Oakes's reputation and ruined John Howard's first big moment in the political limelight – the day Oakes unveiled the 1980 federal Budget on the evening before it was due to be delivered by the new Treasurer.
		Oakes came out as first choice, for most journalists, as the most influential journalist in the Gallery over the years...hardly surprising, but quite a few people also thought Brian Toohey (who was once leaked the entire Strategic Defence Plan) was the best newsbreaker in his day.
		Oakes of course insists that he was left the budget anonymously in his letterbox, but it has always been accepted by all sides this was a device to protect Oakes and his source from inquiries by Federal Police.

		And the odd situation, Laurie, is that Mr Latham's opposite number in the United States, Senator Kerry, actually supports President Bush in finishing the job.

		This claim is made by Laurie Oakes in an article in today's edition of The Bulletin.
		Oakes refers to the publication this week of Kernot's book, Speaking For Myself Again, a title the veteran Canberra journalist says should be Making Excuses For Myself Again.
		In a wide-ranging hatchet job on Kernot, including references to advice she received from her psychiatrist, Oakes says that Kernot's book does not contain the details of circumstances that affected her "emotional and physical health".

		Last week's revelation by Laurie Oakes, on Channel 9, of a (past) affair between Gareth Evans and Cheryl Kernot is but the latest example of this phenomenon.
		But the anecdotal evidence, provided by newspaper letter writers and radio talkback callers, indicates that there is widescale disagreement with the Laurie Oakes view that it was in the public interest to disclose details of what he termed "this steamy affair" (A Current Affair, July 3).
		Sure Oakes and others can assert that there was a causal connection between the affair and the defection.

		A debate about this recently erupted in Australia when Channel Nine’s Laurie Oakes revealed Democrat leader Cheryl Kernot had been having an affair with Labor minister Gareth Evans at the time when she was defecting to the Australian Labor Party.
		But it all backfired when Oakes was himself largely criticised for making the disclosure and forced to justify his actions by claiming Kernot had invited it by not mentioning her affair in her recent autobiography.
		Stephen Mayne, who beat Oakes to the scoop on his crikey.com website after guessing what Oakes was hinting at in The Bulletin, thinks there was never a clearer case of reporting in the public interest.
