Barnaby Joyce is the deputy Prime Minister, leader of the National (country) Party, one of the two parties in the ruling right-wing coalition government of Australia. He has fallen foul of section 44 of the constitution, which forbids any member of the House or the Senate from being a dual citizen. Turns out he's a New Zealand citizen as well as an Ozzie citizen. The birds are kiwis, a flightless bird from NZ, which is also what Ozzies call their cousins from across the Tasman Sea.
