Turnbull Government under pressure after losing two ministers

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. The Opposition claims more than 100 government decisions could face a legal challenge because they were made by two Nationals politicians who were ineligible to be in parliament because of their dual citizenship.
