On 7 August, Gillard was questioned by former Labor leader turned Channel Nine reporter Mark Latham. Labor's campaign was damaged by a series of leaks apparently emanating from a person or persons connected to the Rudd Government's inner Cabinet circle. On 15 July, at her National Press Club address, Gillard was quizzed by Channel Nine journalist Laurie Oakes on details of her discussions with Rudd during her leadership challenge.
