Some of the background to the "bankruptcy", if there was one, of recently elected One Nation senator Rod Culleton receives an airing in
The Australian today.
The newspaper's article centres on a more recent debt dispute - over a A$13.2 million rural property deal - between Culleton and a former director at Wesfarmers.
Court judgments state that Culleton was bankrupted in OctoÂber 2014 over a $94,000 debt owed to Macquarie Leasing, but he denies he was ever bankrupt, pointing to a Federal Court judgment in December 2015 that upheld his appeal.
Culleton, an
anti-bank activist, is one of a large group of cross-bench senators agitating for a royal commission into banking.
