SYDNEY (Reuters) - The Australian dollar slipped to a 3-1/2 month low on Friday after the government lost its one-seat majority in the lower house following a High Court ruling that made the deputy prime minister ineligible to remain in parliament.
The currency <AUD=D4> went as low as $0.7623, a level not seen since July 11. It was last down 0.34 percent at $0.7636.
The court has now ordered a by-election for Barnaby Joyce's seat.
