The Australian Federal Police warned that Nationals MP George Christensen could be questioned in the Philippines by local police given rising concerns about his payments to women and lengthy stays in “seedy” hotels.
Mr Christensen was about to travel on official business to the Philippines when the AFP called a meeting with then prime minister Malcolm Turnbull to warn him the government MP could be detained in Manila for questioning.
Mr Turnbull reveals in his new memoir, A Bigger Picture, that he was briefed by then AFP commissioner Andrew Colvin in a one-on-one meeting that summed up months of police inquiries.
“Colvin described how Christensen had an unusually complex online presence and had been spending substantial sums in Manila bars and nightclubs as well as making many small payments to women there,” Mr Turnbull writes.
Maaaaaaate!
