Tensions between Prime Minister Scott Morrison and predecessor Malcolm Turnbull have increased in the wake of the latter’s recent visit to Indonesia. Morrison was forced to retract comments he made in a radio interview on 1 November; he said that Turnbull had not been asked to discuss trade and the possible relocation of Australia’s embassy in Israel during meetings with Indonesian officials, but Turnbull responded by stating that he had been asked to do so. Turnbull has also signalled that he will publicly defen­d his record as prime minister. Liberal Party of Victoria president Michael Kroger has called on Morrison and Turnbull to present a unified front.
