Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison has joined other senior Liberal Party members in voicing his support for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

 

It follows a week of Liberal Party infighting, with Mr Abbott making several public criticisms of the government and suggesting changes to official party policy.

 

Mr Turnbull recently said he would quit the parliament if he is ever removed from office, unlike his predecessor, Tony Abbott, who has remained a back bencher.

 

Mr Morrison says Malcolm Turnbull will still be the leader at the next election in 2019.

Boxing champion Jeff Horn has brushed off the controversy surrounding his win over Filipino star Manny Pacquiao (puh-kyow).

 

Horn beat Pacquiao in the WBO welterweight crown in Brisbane on Sunday, awarded the unanimous wins on points.

 

The decision has prompted debate on social media and among commentators, with some even suggesting the outcome was rigged.

 

Former schoolteacher Horn says he believes he won fair and square.

A Melbourne man who smashed his car into two banks and also crashed into Crown Casino in the city's Central Business District last month will stay in jail.

34-year-old Jie Xu (jee zoo)has withdrawn his application for bail in the Melbourne Magistrates Court.

 

The man, from the eastern Melbourne suburb of Burwood East, was on bail at the time.

 

He has been charged with criminal damage, endangering life, dangerous driving and a weapons offence.

 

His matter has been adjourned until the 31st of July

There's been a sharp rise in job ads.

 

The A-N-Z bank's latest survey shows a 2.7 percent percent rise in June, compared to only a 0.4 percent lift in May.

 

Annual growth has also picked up, rising 10.5 percent in June, compared to 7.4 percent in May.

 

A-N-Z says strength of employment will be a key factor in stabilising, and possibly lifting, consumer sentiment.
