Similar Stories to Australian Deputy Prime Minister Under Citizenship Cloud on Bing News

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia's deputy prime minister on Monday became the latest lawmaker to reveal he might have breached a constitutional prohibition on dual citizens becoming lawmakers, after he was advised by the New Zealand government that he might be a kiwi. Joyce, who leads the conservative Nationals minor coalition party, said he had legal advice that he would be cleared by the court and would not stand down from Cabinet. Joyce said he was notified by the New Zealand High Commission on Thursday that, on investigating inquiries made by New Zealand's center-left Labour Party, the New Zealand government had discovered "I may be a citizen by descent of New Zealand." The citizenship crisis first took hold in Parliament when two minor Greens party senators, Scott Ludlam and Larissa Waters, quit days apart after discovering they were still citizens of their birth countries. Turnbull accused the Greens of "incredible sloppiness" in vetting candidates, before senior government minister Matt Canavan announced that he had discovered he was Italian.
