I'd like to see some forensic analysis. Who put the 'deal' onto the phone call agenda? Hope it wasn't Turnbull looking for a cheap poll jump.

Trump, at the moment, is all about dismantling Obama's legacy. The Nauru deal being one of them. I'd say he wanted to thump the table at Obama not Australia.

Why did Obama offer this deal? What were the terms. Was this sabotage by design? - then Trump walked right into it.

Perhaps Obama negotiated better rent for the Marines base up in NT? Perhaps Turnbull was a dear caught in the headlights and forgot everything about Australia's value in the South Pacific.
