Banjo,

In Sue v Hill, it was found by the High Court that Heather Hill had to resign immediately, as her election was invalid. Renouncing her British citizenship partway through her term was not enough:

Scott Ludlum and Larissa Waters had no hope. Rather than pissing everyone off by wasting the court's time, they stand a far better chance of being re-elected at some point down the track if they just make a clean break now.

Does anyone know if Eric Abetz has ever renounced
his German citizenship? I'm not able to find anything
about this on the web.

I've finally managed to find something on Senator
Abetz:

I wonder if anything will be done about any of this?

cont'd ...

The Abetz article by John Hawkins was interesting
reading - but who really knows all the facts involved and
the motivations of the article's author?

Hi Foxy,

There has been a stench about the dealings of Eric Abetz for many years now. A rather slippery customer at best is Abetz.

If Germany does not allow dual citizenship how can some one hold
dual citizenship ?
