MELBOURNE -- Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has refused to be shaken by the loss of his government's parliamentary majority -- and his deputy prime minister -- after the country's highest court disqualified five politicians who were found to be dual citizens.
A confident Turnbull, leader of the conservative Liberal-National coalition government, has promised a business-as-usual approach to governance despite the setback. It comes ahead of important regional summits in Vietnam and the Philippines in mid-November, in which trade and national security issues will likely feature prominently in talks between Australian officials and their diplomatic and trade partners.
