    PM dodges question over whether he knew about Russian airbase request in March

    Albanese has finished up his press conference now, but before he did, he was asked about a report in The Australian which says the government knew of Russia's request for an airbase in Indonesia back in March, well before that request made its way into public knowledge.

    Unsurprisingly, the prime minister didn't bite on that one.

    "What adults do on intelligence is receive (it) and not conduct it through the media," he said.

    "Adults… when it comes to intelligence, act like adults. They don't engage in seeing every international issue as a domestic political opportunity."
