Federal Government rocked by revelations Barnaby Joyce may not have been validly elected

The Federal Government has been rocked by revelations Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce may not have been validly elected. Barnaby Joyce is the latest to be caught by uncertainty over his citizenship - telling Parliament he may be a dual citizen of New Zealand because his father was born there. Mr Joyce is staying on as Deputy PM while the High Court determines his eligibility, but the Opposition believes he should stand aside immediately. The case could have huge implications for the Coalition, which holds the Lower House with a slim one seat majority.

Philip Ruddock returns to politics to run for Mayor of Hornsby

A dumped Liberal party mayor has opened up on the faction bosses he believes are wrecking the Liberals. Steve Russell was Mayor of Hornsby Council in northern Sydney for four and a half years and was expecting to stay on as Mayor after elections next month.

It appears his successor, the former Federal MP Philip Ruddock, knew Mr Russell's fate before the party wielded the knife.

Russians mark May 9 in private family traditions

Like every May 9, Gennadiy Matveyev observed a tradition this Friday at his little dacha near Moscow: he and his wife Galina raised the Russian flag to remember the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. Matveyev's personal flag-raising tradition started two decades ago on his patch of land in the countryside, where the couple grows tulips and hyacinths. It continued year after year, the banner soaring six metres in the air only on May 9th, though he changed the red Soviet flag to the Russian tricolour fifteen years ago.
