Good morning and welcome to our live news blog for this Wednesday, the 4th of November.

The reports add another layer of intrigue to Krishnan’s personal finances, which also include revelations a $1 million loan was taken out against his Mosman Park family home for his wife’s business.

Krishnan’s finances were thrust into the spotlight last week after this masthead revealed he was facing a lawsuit from a wealthy New York businessman Kannan Amalraj over an alleged unpaid $AU1 million loan.
