More copy and paste at Spring Street

3AW NEWS: An opposition front-bencher has re-hashed a minister's press release and re-issued it as her own.

Shadow Roads minister Jacinta Allen has used a government release about funding for volunteers to issue the same release the next day in her own name.

Ms Allen has admitted to Neil Mitchell the wording was identical but says she just wanted to make her electorate aware of what was available.

Then new Transport Minister Terry Mulder tried to take credit for federally funded road upgrades.

This morning, Neil has found a new one.

Have a look at these two press releases and make up your own mind.
