Barnaby Joyce should "do the right thing" and stand aside until the High Court deals with his citizenship issue, says Labor leader Bill Shorten.
Australian leader Malcolm Turnbull is standing by the deputy prime minister as parliament wraps up after a fortnight of sittings.
Joyce has been referred to the court to test whether his New Zealand citizenship by descent disqualifies him from sitting in Parliament under section 44 of the constitution.
"I think Barnaby Joyce should do the right thing, let the nation move on from this constitutional crisis that he and his colleagues have embroiled us in," Shorten told reporters in Canberra.
"He shouldn't be exercising responsibilities as a minister when we found out that he was a dual citizen."
