‘Stump up and be a man': Pesutto slammed for asking party donors to ‘bail' him out on lawsuit
Former Queensland premier Campbell Newman says former Victorian Opposition leader John Pesutto needs to 'stump up' and 'be a man' in paying back Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming.
'I think she was treated terribly by Pesutto,' Mr Newman told Sky News host Steve Price.
'I think that Pesutto shouldn't be being protected by Jeff Kennett and other people.
'He has made terrible errors of judgement, he needs to pay the price, and if the price of that's to go bankrupt, so be it.
'You shouldn't be tapping party donors to try and bail a guy out.
'He needs to pay his bills.'

'It's very, very, scary that one country as powerful as China has such a monopoly on the rare earths space that we need in our everyday lives and for our national defence.'

‘Three-pronged attack': Australia's commercial defence future analysed
Defence industry specialist Brent Clark discusses Australia's national defence future. 'Obviously, the Australian government has a three-pronged attack on this,' Mr Clark told Sky News host Ed Boyd. 'There are a variety of steps that each company must do to each of those elements, if you're a supplier that is different to being a company that wishes to be a builder, as such. 'I would suggest quite heavily that Australian companies are investing in infrastructure, skills, capabilities.'
