The news conference comes as Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce announced his intention to resign over an extramarital affair with a former adviser, who is now pregnant with his child.

Last week, Turnbull took Joyce to task for the affair, saying he displayed a "shocking error of judgment." The prime minister banned all Cabinet ministers from having sexual relationships with staffers.
