2 more Aussie cabinet ministers quit politics

Two more ministers in Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's cabinet said yesterday they will not contest elections due in May, adding to a flurry of high-profile resignations as opinion polls suggest the centre-right government faces a heavy defeat. Defence Minister Christopher Pyne and Defence Industry Minister Steven Ciobo both announced morning that they would not stand in the coming election.
