Ministers Resign Over Voter Question Regulation
Three federal ministers Higgs Gardiner and Russell resign amid protest against Mr Hughes testing regulations allowing military questions to voters at polling booths. Gardiner says resignation forced by prime minister, claims he knew of the regulation two months ago, and notes potential coalition if yes vote. Higgs criticizes action and says instructions to ask questions at polling places were prepared. Russell remains silent as political turmoil unfolds. A separate street incident recounts a man knocked down twice near George and King Streets, asking why he could not avoid the car and bicycle, ending with an officer noting the man’s remark about the foal.
