CANBERRA, Australia — Australia’s prime minister says he will quit Parliament now the government has picked a replacement.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters: “I’ll be leaving the Parliament … not before too long.”
His resignation would cause a by-election that could cost the government its single-seat majority. It could encourage the next Prime Minister Scott Morrison to soon call general elections.
