Australia’s foreign minister resigns

-

Australia’s foreign minister has quit after failing to take the nation’s top job in a party coup, as Scott Morrison, the new prime minister, announced his cabinet.

Julie Bishop, deputy chief of the Liberal Party, was one of three candidates but received minimal support even as polls pointed to her popularity. Her departure raised questions about a perceived glass ceiling for women in Canberra.
