The government has come under fire over it's decision to allow the leader and deputy leader of the Nationals to keep their ministries while their eligibility to sit in parliament was in doubt. After last week's long awaited ruling from the high court on the fate of the so-called 'Citizenship 7' - the government's now under pressure to conduct an audit of every member of parliament's dual citizenship status. Reported by Tim Bennett and Chowai Cheung.
