Post by: Joseph41 on August 20, 2018, 05:32:43 pm

Amazing.

Quote from: The Age

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton may be ineligible to sit in Parliament due to his family's financial interests in the Commonwealth, according to an explosive report that has added a dangerous new dimension to the leadership speculation gripping the Turnbull government.
...
The allegation comes amid fevered speculation Mr Dutton is considering a leadership challenge to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and the report will trigger a frenzy of finger-pointing as to the origin of the story.

Full story.

Is there anybody in Australian politics these days who is eligible? 😱
