Shorten labelled a liar as dual citizenship saga reveals more MPs

Federal government MPs have labelled Bill Shorten a liar and a 'sanctimonious hypocrite' for maintaining that the federal Labor Party had a strict vetting process. They have gone on the attack after the release of citizenship documents that suggest four Labor MPs and a member of the Nick Xenophon team could have been dual citizens when nominations closed for last year's federal election.
