Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday he doesn’t believe he has lied since he was elected to parliament in 2007, rejecting allegations from French President Emmanuel Macron and others.
When asked on Friday, Morrison rejected the allegations he had lied.
I don’t believe I have, Morrison told 3 AW Radio. People take sledges at me all the time I’ve learned in public life to not have a thin skin to not get bitter. Morrison’s comments came as Australia tries to repair ties with France.
France said Australia didn’t attempt to inform it of the cancellation until Canberra announced its deal with the United States and Britain. Morrison denied that and messages he sent to Macron in the week before the announcement have since been leaked to local media.
In solidarity with France, the European Union last month postponed the next round of talks on a free trade deal for a second time.
