Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has rejected calls for a citizenship audit of all members of federal parliament while admonishing resigning Liberal senator Stephen Parry. Senator Parry, the Senate president, is quitting parliament after disclosing his British links, a disclosure the Prime Minister says should not have been delayed like it was. Mr Turnbull says it is up to MPs to reveal any worries they have that their citizenship status could rule them ineligible to sit in parliament. His comments come as the High Court directed the Australian Electoral Commission to run special counts to replace Larissa Waters, Scott Ludlam, Malcolm Roberts and Fiona Nash.
