Scott Morrison has defended his response to Trump's request for help as an impeachment inquiry involves Australia.

:"The president contacted me and asked for there to be a point of contact between the Australian government and the U.S. attorney, which I was happy to do on the basis that it was something we had already committed to do... it was a fairly uneventful conversation."

Morrison went on:"We had said we were prepared to assist and cooperate in that investigation, which is not unusual, I mean the U.S. is our most significant ally and we are used to sharing a lot of information. Morrison said it would be up to his government officials as to what information they would provide Barr.One of the catalysts for the initial Mueller probe was former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos telling the then Australian high commissioner to the U.K. Alexander Downer that the Russians had"dirt" on Trump's rival Hillary Clinton.

Fairly polite? Is he sure he was talking to Trump?

Given that The Australian PM is known to lie, I would take anything he says with a grain of salt.

And Morrison politely grovelled in compliance....
