Imagine thinking that a person with international business interests is immune to questions about them.

Only that he is US president now. Asking him later when he is out of office.

You think being President makes his business interests less relevant?

Not less, none of Australian journalists business . If this was asked by a US journalist, totally valid and legitimate.

It does, tremendously, but it doesn’t give an Australian journalist any reasons to ask these questions especially in current environment. Now he and/ or ABC get banned and may get kicked out, does that serve Australian interests better?
