One of the most senior federal ministers has had his political allegiances, views on police corruption, drinking habits, friendships and other personal details secretly documented by the nation's top criminal intelligence body. 

The Australian Crime Commission's secret file on the Minister for Home Affairs, Bob Debus, details his conduct and conversations with senior officials who he met at a dinner in the Northern Territory in April. The file was written by one of the commission's most senior officers, managing director Chris Enright, and is marked "confidential - not for distribution".
