Title: News to make you sick

Dual-citizen MPs acted ‘in good faith’ and have debts waived

POLLIES caught up in the dual-citizenship scandal will not have to pay back a cent of the money they made while breaking the rules.

HALF a dozen MPs who lost their jobs won’t have to repay their salaries and expenses — worth $16 million — to taxpayers after it was found they acted “in good faith”.

A collection of government departments reviewed the circumstances of six of the various MPs found ineligible to sit in parliament and recommended the debts be waived.

What a load of tripe. I spent time reading the Constitution but could not find any mention of the term 'acted in good faith'.
