Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister Peter O’Neill has denied accusations he holds Australian citizenship, which would make him ineligible to sit in the country’s parliament.
Opposition MP Bryan Kramer said on social media Mr O’Neill is a dual citizen through his Australian-born father and has vowed to take the matter to court to prove his claims, which Mr O’Neill has described as ‘fake news’.
PNG’s Attorney General has ordered a review of the citizenship status of all the country’s 111 MPs following the accusations.
