Senator Nick Xenophon, the latest Australian politician caught up in the dual-citizenship scandal, has described it as a "festering farce" and attacked his opponents for spending hours trying to knock him off.
The crossbench senator revealed he was a British overseas citizen by descent on Saturday as a result of his father emigrating to Australia from a British territory.
Senator Xenophon will refer himself to the High Court, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, when parliament resumes in two weeks time and says he will continue to vote in the Senate.
