‘Extraordinary’ revelation about national security decision shows the government is ‘falling apart’, Labor says
Guardian Australia has confirmed that the proposal advanced by Payne included an approximate doubling of Australia’s total financial support to Pacific island countries over four years.
It is understood the national security committee did not adopt the entire package although some elements were salvaged. When a reporter asked Morrison on Friday why members of his government were leaking against him, Morrison said he rejected that accusation “100%”. While declining to confirm or deny the substance of the report, he pushed back at the idea that increasing funding would thwart China’s activities in the region.
