Donald Trump's former national security advisor has been given a reprieve in his sentencing hearing on charges of lying to the FBI.

In the meantime, Donald Trump has agreed to shut down his personal charity, amid accusations he used the foundation for personal and political benefit. The decision is part of a deal between the president's lawyers and the New York attorney general, who is investigating Mr Trump and his three eldest children, alleging "persistently illegal conduct" at the foundation. It will be shut down and all of its remaining assets will be distributed to other non-profit groups.

Senior Nationals are pushing for a woman to run in the Plum Victorian seat that's been left empty by disgraced MP Andrew Broad. Mr Broad says he won't re-contest the seat of Mallee, after revelations the married man used a dating website to meet a young girl or younger woman while on a personal trip in Hong Kong. Just two of the nationals' 22 federal members are women.

澳大利亚国家党在努力推动一名女性竞选Plum Victoria的席位，该席位因名誉扫地的议员安德鲁·布罗德离开而空缺。布罗德表示，他不会再竞选马里选区的席位，因为这名已婚议员被曝因私人行程前往香港期间曾利用约会网站和一名年轻女性见面。目前国家党22名联邦成员中只有2名女性。
