Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has demanded answers from his replacement and slammed the Home Affairs Minister amid revelations a Chinese Communist Party-aligned billionaire paid tens of thousands of dollars trying to secure Australian citizenship.
A joint investigation by Four Corners, The Age and Sydney Morning Herald revealed Mr Dutton granted then-Labor senator Sam Dastyari approval to hold a ceremony for the family of Chinese billionaire Huang Xiangmo.
Mr Huang was also seeking Australian citizenship for himself — and met Mr Dutton to discuss it — but was ultimately unsuccessful after domestic spy agency ASIO warned against it.
Today, Mr Dutton dismissed the investigation and said he had never accepted a dollar from the Chinese billionaire.
"I had that one meeting with him over lunch. I have never seen him since," Mr Dutton said.
"As I say, what has he got from me?
"He is now offshore and prevented from coming back into Australia. So somehow, you know, the beat-up of what I've seen of last night just doesn't stack up."
Speaking shortly after Mr Dutton's comments, Mr Turnbull said he still had a lot of explaining to do
Aah yes...Turnbull the turd....dines with hate preacher, and then thinks...oh...I better condemn him and his homophobic

Turdcoat is a spiteful, vindictive, and bitter creep. His wife and son are no better. I don't know what his daughter has said but presume she feels the same. I just wish they would disappear into the ether, asap.
Turnbull and his family need to disappear into the ether. No money changed hands. Wasn't Turnbull at the helm at the time Dutton had one lunch?
One lunch for Dutton yet Turnbull has had MANY lunches with Huang Xiangmo to say nothing about his taxpayer suck up lunch with imams who preach killing gays.
Turnbull is a bitter and twisted moron and all he is doing is showing more sour grapes prior to the election. He has no class.
