If you need to make certain information public
with minimal scrutiny, standard practice is to release it late on a Friday afternoon.
Even better would be to release it on the Thursday afternoon before a Friday ANZAC Day long weekend when, as a further distraction, a young Royal Couple and their Royal Babe have the media all in a dizzy tizz.

Later that same day, yesterday, as his Direct Action media release was sinking in distraction, Prime Minister Abbott addressed the Royal Couple in the Australian Parliament. An extract :
Your great-great-grandfather, the future George V, opened our first Parliament in 1901.
Your great-grandfather as Duke of York opened our first Parliament House in 1927.
Your grandmother, the Queen, opened this building in 1988.
And your father, the Prince of Wales, has been here many, many times.
Many decades, hence, when a currently unknowable Australian Prime Minister welcomes your son, King George VII to this building, that will be a sign of the stability and the continuity in the life of our nation.
