The Marrickville Golf Club in Sydney has confirmed an honorary membership it conferred on the prime minister is worth significantly more than Anthony Albanese initially claimed.
The ABC previously revealed Mr Albanese had never disclosed his membership of the club, located in his electorate, despite it receiving a $6 million grant.
The prime minister claimed in parliament last month the membership was only worth five dollars over two years.
But in an appearance before a Senate inquiry today, the club's general manager Matthew Ward confirmed an honorary membership is akin to a full golfing membership... valued at $1,100 a year.
Victoria's highest court has dismissed a bid by media outlets to lift a suppression order over secret evidence in the murder case against Erin Patterson.

Patterson was convicted last year of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder after serving a deadly beef Wellington lunch laced with death cap mushrooms.
Last month, three judges of Victoria's Court of Appeal threw out Patterson's appeal against her convictions.

Nvidia and the FBI have launched investigations into the affair with the alleged spy.
