Staff working for the Rudd government have been ordered to fill out a bizarre twenty-five page questionnaire that grills them about their sex and drug history.
The deep probe is part of security clearance, and is aimed at protecting them from blackmail.
The staffers are being asked to list their history of sexual partners, reveal extra-marital affairs and detail homosexual experiences before gaining a security clearance.
The 300 ministerial and electorate office staff have also been asked about their personal finances and drug habits.
Special Minister of State John Faulkner says the clearance is necessary for staff who handle sensitive and classified material.
