Aussie PM's talking points leaked ahead of Parliament's 2016 debut

A document outlining Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's partyroom focus for 2016, prepared for MPs and senators, was leaked to the media before the first day of parliament for the year on Tuesday.

The document highlighted Turnbull's intent to unify his cabinet ahead of this year's federal election, while he has also asked his MPs to "focus on being proactive and getting our message out about innovation, jobs and economic growth."

Late last year, Turnbull unveiled his government's intentions to transform Australia into a nation more reliant on innovation, and called for an "ideas boom" to take the place of the ailing mining boom.

The leak was suspected to have come from rogue conservative MPs still unhappy with the direction Turnbull has taken the government since late last year.

Turnbull ousted Tony Abbott in September after bad poll results and unrest within the coalition prompted Turnbull to force a party vote.

But on Tuesday, government MP's moved quickly to quell rumors of a new disunity, with Employment Minister Michaelia Cash playing the leak down as a "member who wants to be out there" earlier than party colleagues.

Meanwhile colleague Josh Frydenberg said it was time for disgruntled colleagues "move on" from the leadership spill, and focus on serving the Australian people.

"There are many people in the partyroom, obviously some are disgruntled, but that is not any different to what the Labor caucus is like," Frydenberg told reporters on his way into Parliament on Tuesday.

"I can't stop everybody or somebody might leak some talking points, but I don't think that reflects a broader sense of disunity in the government at all."

The leaked documents -- set to be expanded upon by Turnbull in Parliament -- also revealed talking points on jobs and growth, funding for education and discussion on the trade union royal commission.

Parliament resumes for the first time this year on Tuesday. Endit
