REPORTER: W

hy did Julie Bishop need to

have her Chief of Staff in the

room when Liberal MPs were

talking about challenging Tony

Abbott? Was she complicit in

the challenge?

TURNBULL: As you would expect with the precision of a very fine lawyer and the elegance of a very distinguished diplomat, Julie Bishop has answered those questions completely herself and I've got nothing to add to what she said.

REPORTER: You talked to her on the Saturday night before the spill and you were photographed talking to her that night. Did you talk to her then about a possible challenge against Tony Abbott on the Saturday night?

TURNBULL: I've got nothing to add. My focus here in Indonesia and whenever I am is on growing the Australian economy. There has never been a more exciting time to be an Australian. There's never been bigger opportunities for Australians and one of the places where there are great opportunities for mutual trade and investment in creating jobs, Indonesia and Australia working together is right here in Indonesia and that's why I'm here looking forward to seeing the president.
