Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that French-Australian diplomatic ties are heading back in the right direction after a phone call with President Emmanuel Macron.

Morrison spoke to his French counterpart on Thursday for the first time since Australia scrapped a $90 billion submarine deal with Naval Group and opted instead for an agreement with the United States and the United Kingdom on nuclear-powered subs.
