Kiwi Barnaby a goner!

The ABC reports:

The Turnbull Government has lost its one-seat majority after the High Court ruled Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce’s election invalid because of his New Zealand citizenship.

Mr Joyce will now face a by-election. The court also found former Greens senators Scott Ludlam and Larissa Waters were not validly elected, along with One Nation’s Malcolm Roberts and Senator Fiona Nash.

Hilarious. The Government may fall as the father of the Deputy PM was a Kiwi. Joyce is likely to retain his seat in the by-election but if he doesn’t then the Government may need to call an election.

This should make Barnaby Joyce a favourite to win New Zealander of the Year.
