France’s ambassador to Australia Jean-Pierre Thebault is on his way back to Paris.

MORRISON GIVES THE FRENCH THE FINGER

Recalled ambassador to Australia Jean-Pierre Thebault, speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age hours before leaving Canberra for Paris, said Australia had engaged in “lies and treason” for 18 months behind his nation’s back.
