• Warringah independent candidate Zali Steggall has been the subject of an extraordinary public attack by her ex-husband and his new wife.

Olympic rowing champion David Cameron and his now-wife, high-profile Sydney barrister Bridie Nolan, have lashed out at the former champion skier, accusing her of being “opportunistic” and lacking the “temperament of a leader”.

The couple took issue with Ms Steggall’s use of the Christchurch massacre to promote her bid to unseat Liberal opponent Tony Abbott. In a condolence tweet to victims of the March 15 attack, she linked the shooting to hate speech and ended the post with the hashtag “Warringah votes”.

Mr Cameron. whose marriage to Ms Steggall lasted four years and produced two children, called his ex-wife an “idiot” for linking the tragedy to the election.

• Israel Folau made a solemn oath to Rugby Australia boss Raelene Castle before accepting a $4 million offer to stay in the game for another four years.

That deal is about to be torn up.

Folau has two days to respond or face the sack after being served with a breach notice by Rugby Australia over his controversial social media posts.

RA’s integrity unit deemed Folau had committed a “high level” breach of the players’ code of conduct which warranted termination of his contract.
