Two Australian cabinet ministers - Mal Brough and Jamie Briggs resign over unrelated scandals Tuesday Dec 29,2015

 
Two Australian cabinet ministers -  Mal Brough and Jamie Briggs have resigned over unrelated scandals.

Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Jamie Briggs quit after a public servant complained about his behaviour at a Hong Kong bar.

Special Minister of State Mal Brough quit pending a police inquiry into his role in another politician's downfall.

With two front bench cabinet positions to fill in a day, this is the first major setback to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull since he took office

The ministerial departures come at a time when the Australian parliament is on its summer recess, and will return in February 2016
