Ousted Australian deputy PM leaves govt in chaos

From Morning Report, 8:19 am on 30 October 2017

A court ruling disqualifying Australia's deputy prime minister from office, forcing a by-election has thrown the country's government into a state of chaos. It was decided on Friday afternoon that Barnaby Joyce and four other politicians had been wrongly elected in Australia's election last year because they all held dual citizenship at the time.
