Former One Nation senator Rod Culleton has been formally disqualified from holding a seat in the upper house after a court ruled that he was an undischarged bankrupt. Culleton intends to challenge the ruling, arguing that he was not insolvent and a lawyers’ trust held sufficient funds to meet his debt obligations. Culleton was declared bankrupt over $A280,000 owed to businessman Dick Lester. His eligibility to contest the 2016 election is yet to be determined by the Court of Disputed Returns.
