Leoj, what, with you and the rest of the One Nation ratbags. Go fly a drone.

Dear Shadow Minister,

The Greens may well fall behind but more to the
point will the Liberal Party even be in the
running if things keep going as they currently
are with the wrecking ball that is Mr Abbott?

As for the question of Mr Abetz's citizenship?

You stated that "the moment one becomes an MP one
gets a diplomatic passport which is hard to issue
to a non citizen".

So according to you that means that Senators Ludlum and
Waters received ones as well (both being MPs).

Regarding Senator Abetz? One can't help but wonder which
passport he would have used while travelling - his
German or his Australian one? I guess it depends exactly
when he became an Aussie and whether he renounced his
German citizenship at that time.

According to my German relatives you did not automatically
lose your German citizenship if you became a citizen of
another country. It all depends on the year this happened.
Rules changed with the years.

Paul1405,

What complete rubbish.

Rubbish is the key word in this discussion.
So leoj, think (if you can) before you post!

Foxy,

It is time to move on. Greens leader Richard Di Natale, who was sorely let down by both deputies, Scott Ludlam and Larissa Waters and has said that the Greens need to improve governance.

Sarah Hanson-Young, Senator for South Australia, cut a deal to pay back travel money she was not entitled to receive. Politicians from other Parties have had to pay back debts too. You have said that yourself, but only where one side of politics is concerned, where you never let due process get in the way either. Still, you are for money being recovered and that is the point.

The public need to be assured that Ludlam and Waters will be required to make fair recompense to Government.

So, what should Ludlam and Waters be paying back out of those millions of taxpayers dollars? What deal would you cut for them?

Foxy,

A logical deficit there! Ludlam and Waters as Aus citizens were entitled to Aus passports, so this proves Aus citizenship, not the lack of foreign citizenship.
