Gair to accept Irish post alters Australian Senate balance
Senator Gair vows to take ambassadorial post to Ireland, a move the government says will give it effective Senate control after June 30 and weaken the Liberal Country Party alliance. The bloc could push through disputed laws, affecting the next House election and reshaping electoral boundaries. Opposition leader Snedden denounces the action as the most shameful act yet by an Australian government.
