Opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong said the prime minister was playing "dangerous and deceitful" word games.

"Foreign policy, and Australia's national interest are far too important to be played with in this fashion," Senator Wong said.

"The people of Wentworth, and all Australians, deserve a leader who puts the national interest ahead of his self-interest, and governs in the best long-term interest of the nation."
