    PROTECTIONISM is a "dead end", Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Friday, as he and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made a strong push for countries to continue working together on free trade.

    Speaking at an Asean-Australia business summit, Mr Turnbull said Australia will continue to work with its closest neighbours in the region on trade liberalisation.
