Tony Abbott daughter's scholarship leaker be sentenced

A university student who leaked restricted details of a $60,000 scholarship awarded to the prime minister's daughter will learn her penalty on Tuesday.

Freya Newman, 21, was a casual library assistant at the Whitehouse Institute of Design when in May she used her position to seek information about Ms Abbott's enrolment.

Newman then handed the information to journalists.

After pleading guilty to accessing restricted data, she is expected to be sentenced in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday.

Newman faces a maximum penalty of two years in prison.
