The request forms part of court documents filed during Mowitz’s divorce from his estranged wife, Jillian Green, who is now dating Biermann. Mowitz claims Green’s divorce filings contain “untruths” and says she has been dishonest about the relationship for months.

Opposition leader Angus Taylor has blamed the Albanese Government’s spending for persistent inflation after the Reserve Bank raised the cash rate to a 15-year high of 4.6 per cent. Speaking on Wednesday, Mr Taylor rejected the suggestion that the increase was solely the result of the conflict in the Middle East and disruption to global energy markets. “Interest rates were rising again before the Middle East crisis.
