Australian politics live: PM distances himself from Labor staffer sacked over social media posts; Sarah Abo leaving Today show

The Australian Prime Minister has distanced himself from a Labor staffer who was sacked over social media posts. This move comes as the staffer's actions are being scrutinized in light of a recent report that questioned the handling of a $6m sports precinct funding request. The report suggests that the request was made without proper costings or planning, raising concerns about the government's decision-making process. This development may impact the government's credibility and potentially influence market perceptions of its ability to manage public funds effectively.
