Rod Culleton is vowing to fight his removal from federal politics, despite the president of the Senate confirming his disqualification.
The former One Nation senator has threatened legal action after Senate president Stephen Parry declared he had received formal documents showing Mr Culleton had been declared bankrupt and was no longer a senator.

Adios.
A bit sad, parliament can always use someone to provide comedy relief.
On the bright side, a village can now get its idiot back.*

Sussan Ley has resigned from the frontbench amid an ongoing expenses scandal, despite claiming she has not broken any rules.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Ms Ley's replacements in the health, aged care and sport portfolios would be announced next week and Arthur Sinodinos would stay on as Acting Health Minister until then.
Ms Ley stepped aside from Cabinet on Monday, amid two investigations into her travel expenses, which included billing taxpayers to attend two New Year's Eve events hosted by a prominent Queensland businesswoman and donor.
Ms Ley was also criticised for purchasing a $795,000 luxury apartment on the Gold Coast while on a taxpayer funded trip, claiming it was an impulse purchase.
But a retired couple on the Gold Coast Hinterland claim Ms Ley made an unsuccessful bid on her house nine months before she purchased the apartment.

Whilst at first blush this looks bad, I'm not sure this is that big a deal. I think they were making a statement against the US travel bans, not supporting white supremacy or anything like that.
If you look at the footage, the guy on the mike says something like 'do you want to be part of this' as the men in hoods walk to the stage, bearing in mind the motion being discussed was support for non-discriminatory immigration policy in light of recent US events. The atmosphere seems very lighthearted and jocular, more like an ironic university prank rather than a serious pro-white protest. Note at the end of the footage one guy who had the hood on takes it off with a big smile on his face, as if he's satisfied he's just been part of practical joke that's done it's job.
That said, given the prevalence of cameras these days, this kind of stunt is only going to have negative repercussions.

I was more taking the piss at the young libs meeting itself. I thought it was all a bit humerious in the end. I think there are more piss takers out there than what we pay credit for these days.

Donald Trump blasts Malcolm Turnbull
The Washington Post has reported – citing US officials briefed on the phone call – that Mr Trump told Mr Turnbull the agreement he struck with the Obama administration was “the worst deal ever”, and that by agreeing to it, Mt Trump was “going to get killed” politically.
Mr Trump also allegedly accused Mr Turnbull and Australia of seeking to send “the next Boston bombers” to the US in the deal, which allows for the US to take a reported 1250 refugees from Nauru and Manus Island.
Sources also reportedly told The Washington Post the conversation that was meant to last an hour was ended abruptly after 25 minutes by Mr Trump.
Mr Trump also told Mr Turnbull he has spoken to four other world leaders during that day and that “this was the worst call by far”, according to the report.
