Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull says he is "disappointed" that outgoing Senate President Stephen Parry didn't reveal his dual-citizenship concerns earlier.  Parry of Tasmania stood down after learning he is a UK citizen by descent, and waited to act until the High Court clarified the application of Section 44 of the Australian constitution on those who weren't sure of their dual-citizenship status.  "He chose to delay his reporting of it, he should have reported it much earlier, and it could have been referred to the High Court together with the other matters that were dealt with," said Mr. Turnbull.

London is moving to impose a budget on government departments in Northern Ireland, after Irish Nationalist and Pro-UK Unionist parties failed at talked aimed at re-establishing a power-sharing government in the six counties.  The move does not impose direct rule over the disputed territory, and Northern Ireland secretary vowed he would scrap the budget if the two main parties in the Stormont assembly, Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionists, soon secured a deal to restore power-sharing to Belfast.  "Sinn Fein is disappointed that after the last few weeks of negotiations that it has ended in failure," said the party's leader in Northern Ireland, Michelle O'Neill.  "We did our best to be flexible," she said, blaming the stubbornness of the right-wing DUP.  She also called on the British and Irish governments to abide by the terms of the 1998 Good Friday Peace Accords, and to "to act urgently to deliver equality" in Northern Ireland.
