The Daily Telegraph (http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/)
On the day the President arrives in Canberra, The Daily Telegraph (http://dailytelegraph.com.au/) can reveal timesheets detailing travel of US agents and officials have been left in the white Mazda parked at the rear of the Hyatt hotel (http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/national/you-just-cant-keep-secrets-in-canberra-obama-visit-details-stored-in-old-van/story-e6freuzr-1226196051856).
Welcome to Australia, Mr President (http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/national/us-president-barack-obama-put-in-his-proper-place-in-australia/story-e6freuzr-1226197265701)
One driver said they folded up the documents as they were concerned about leaving them unattended in a carpark. Another claimed he was sacked for refusing to send timesheets, showing where a US Secret Service agent from the Presidential Protection Division of the US Department of Homeland Security had been, unaccompanied in a taxi to the hotel carpark.
The timesheet detailed suburbs and buildings visited last Tuesday, when the agent went to a Canberra primary school.
The driver was sacked in an email and the woman who sent it declined to comment.
The Secret Service agent also declined to comment when contacted on Monday.
