Good Morning Australia!! - It could soon be Labor's turn to deal with the citizenship circus - Trump furiously backtracks over gushing praise of Putin over his own spy chiefs - Lebanon's ex-PM surfaces - WTH happened in Warsaw? - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The Greens will back Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to send the cases of four Labor MPs to the High Court over their citizenship.  "Every single one of them took steps to renounce" their potential dual citizenship, claimed Labor Senate Leader Penny Wong, who described the PM's referral threats as "partisan thuggery".  But Greens leader Richard Di Natale said, "We believe for anybody where there is a question mark, they should be referred and the issue should be sorted out quick smart."

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden plans to again approach Malcolm Turnbull about the Manus Island standoff when the two meet at the East Asia Summit in the Philippines this week.  About 420 refugees and asylum-seekers are still occupying the former processing center.  Turnbull has refused Ms. Ardern's offer to take 150 of them in New Zealand.  "I see the human face of this issue.  I see the need and the role New Zealand needs to play," The Kiwi PM said, "I think it's clear that we don't think what's happening there is acceptable, that's why the offer is there."

The orange clown was forced to backtrack off of comments in which he put more trust into Russian President Vladimir Putin than in his own US intelligence chiefs over whether Russia interfered with the 2016 US Presidential Election.  After implying that he believed Putin in that Russia did not interfere - which is counter to the US intelligence community's assessment - Donald Trump on Sunday said: "As to whether I believe it or not, I'm with our agencies, especially as currently constituted."  But he still backed Putin, saying the Russian leader sincerely believed it.  Ugh.

Former US intelligence director James Clapper said, "The fact the president of the United States would take Putin at his word over that of the intelligence community is quite simply unconscionable."  He and former CIA Director John Brennan accused Trump of allowing Putin to get away with Russia's efforts to disrupt the presidential election.  Brennan said Putin's apparent influence over Trump was due to his use of flattery, and the former top spy suspects that Trump "for whatever reason" might be "intimidated" by Putin: "It's either naivete, ignorance or fear in terms of what Mr. Trump is doing vis-a-vis the Russians," Brennan said.

Meanwhile, the clown embarrassed his nation once again with his Twitter account.  After the North Korean foreign ministry said Trump was "old", Trump responded that he would "never" call Kim Jong-un "short and fat", which is actually what he did.  As Trump acted like a 12-year old on Twitter, three US aircraft carriers took part in a military exercise in the Western Pacific, in a show of strength aimed at Pyongyang.

Former Lebanon Prime Minister Saad Hariri finally reappeared, and says he will return to his country "in days".  Mr. Hariri stunned the world last week when he flew to the Saudi capital Riyahd to resign, and then dropped out of view for several days.  Lebanon's President accuses the Saudis of holding Hariri against his will.  Hariri - A Sunni - accuses Shiite Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah of "taking over Lebanon" and destabilizing the wider region.

Iraqi forces discovered a mass grave of at least 400 people murdered by the so-called Islamic State.  This was outside Hawija, a town retaken from IS last month.

There is a strangely muted reaction to the horrifying scene in Warsaw, Poland over the weekend, when 60,000 fascist scum and nationalists in effect hijacked the country's Independence Day commemorations, and turned it into a massive racist gathering.  Carrying signs reading "Europe Will Be White", "Pure Blood", and covered with their little geometric symbols, they chanted anti-Islam slogans and "We want god" - a reference to a line their hero Donald Trump quoted from an old Polish folk song during a state visit to Warsaw in July.  Many of the torch carrying fascists were from other former SSRs, helping the fascists to outnumber smaller and disunited groups of Polish Jews, LGBT, and Antifa.  The Wall Street Journal reported that many marchers claimed they weren't members of fascist groups, but found nothing wrong with walking with them.
