Malcolm Turnbull says Australia will work well with the new Malaysian government after the shock election of veteran strongman Mahathir Mohamad. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is adopting a wait-and-see position on the likely outcome of Malaysia's general election. A coalition led by 92-year-old Mahathir Mohamad has won Malaysia's election, breaking the six-decade reign of the Malay-centred Barisan Nasional.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has called for restraint in the wake of the US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement.
Mr Turnbull says he hopes the decision doesn't foreshadow the collapse of the deal, and says Australia believes it's the best option to guarantee Iran doesn't re-start its nuclear energy program.
Malcolm Turnbull has taken a swipe at three Labor MPs caught up in the dual-citizenship saga for delaying their resignations from federal parliament.
Susan Lamb, Josh Wilson and Justine Keay signalled on Wednesday they would quit their lower house seats following the High Court's decision to disqualify Labor senator Katy Gallagher.
"They have said they are ineligible, they have acknowledged they are ineligible and they still have not resigned, so they are drawing salaries and using MPs entitlements," the prime minister told ABC radio on Thursday.
