Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has lashed Liberal frontbencher Christian Porter’s decision to use a blind trust to pay for his defamation case claiming this was “like saying my legal fees were paid by a guy in a mask who dropped off a chaff bag full of cash.”

Former PM @TurnbullMalcolm on RN right now “this is an affront. I will be staggered if PM allows this to stand. You can’t make anonymous donations to political parties that’s against the law. If he doesn’t know the donor he shouldn’t accept the money. Full stop.” twitter.com/samanthamaiden…

Australia to get nuclear-powered submarines, scrap $90b plan to build French-designed subs
The ABC understands Australia will use American and British technology to configure its next submarine fleet in a bid to replace its existing Collins class subs with a boat more suitable to the deteriorating strategic environment.

Stephen Dziedzic@stephendziedzic
Big news, with significant implications. Australia will scrap its $90 billion program to build 12 French-designed submarines, and work with the US and the UK to acquire nuclear-powered subs instead. Huge.

World Watching Australia’s Climate Response, RBA’s Lowe Says
Australia’s climate change policies are being watched by global investors and policy makers, its central bank chief said, adding it’s important the nation tell a “positive story” in order to avoid a painful economic fallout.

Australia’s lack of action on Climate Change is not only bad for the environment, it’s bad for business. For too long politicians have used the cost of taking action as an excuse to do nothing. The truth is that the cost of not taking action is far greater bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Mysterious yet transparent abuse of power. There’s no way $1 million would be unconditional.
For the nation’s former highest law maker to claim ignorance of their financial aid is as insulting as Scott claiming ignorance of an alleged rape down the hall.
