Turnbull Q& A impasse
COMMUNICATIONS Minister Malcolm Turnbull is still considering whether to defy the Prime Minister and appear on the ABC’s Q& A show next week.
Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce was scheduled to appear on the program last night but withdrew after Tony Abbott told him he wanted frontbenchers to shun the show while an independent review was held over the decision to give Zaky Mallah air time last month. But Mr Turnbull yesterday refused to comment or withdraw for next week.
