“The government works for Australia's national interests and works with the closest and most important allies,” Foreign Minister Payne told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

He explained, “We need to work together where possible and ensure that cooperation is appropriate. The government is doing exactly that.”

The Russian alleged investigation was triggered by a report by former Australian Foreign Minister Downer.

Trump faction executive George Papadopoulos allegedly leaked to Mr. Downer in 2016 that Russia had the information that would hit Hillary Clinton, the opposition candidate for the presidential election.

Downer is reported to have reported the content of his conversation with Papadopoulos to the FBI.
