SYDNEY - Two more ministers in Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s cabinet said on Saturday they will not contest elections due in May, adding to a flurry of high-profile resignations as opinion polls suggest the center-right government faces a heavy defeat.

Morrison said it was important for Pyne, who was responsible for a $200 billion build-up of Australia’s military capability, to retain his portfolio until the election.The prime minister said he intended to fill any other vacancies after the next election.
