Do-nothing Malcolm caves to Labor on citizenship crisis
From The Canberra Times:
Federal politicians will be required to publicly disclose their citizenship history and status by December 1 after the Turnbull government struck a deal with the opposition designed to end the crisis that has battered Federal Parliament.
After a week of tense negotiations the Coalition has agreed to Labor’s demands, including stronger disclosures and a quicker turnaround. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull originally wanted the disclosures made in the third week of December, a plan that would have required Parliament to be recalled in the days before Christmas…
The government will move a motion in the Senate today requiring disclosure by December 1 and the lower house will do the same when it returns later in the month.
The sooner this issue is put to rest the better.
