In Australia, five more parliamentarians have been ousted for holding dual citizenship. Today, Senator Katy Gallagher was ruled ineligible by a court. Four other politicians who were under scrutiny resigned after the verdict.
Ms Gallagher and lower house MPs Justine Keay, Josh Wilson and Susan Lamb are members of the opposition Labor party. The fifth MP, Rebekha Sharkie, is part of minor party Centre Alliance.
The High Court of Australia ruled that Ms Gallagher's seat would be filled by counting back votes from the 2016 federal election. The other politicians are expected to be replaced in the same way, or through a by-election.
The dual citizenship saga has destabilised Australian politics since last July, at times threatening Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's majority in the House of Representatives. Last year, 10 MPs and senators were removed from office for violating a constitutional rule that prohibits federal political candidates from being dual nationals.
