Talking about sitting on the sidelines.

I work part-time as a volunteer in an aged-care
facility. There's quite a few of us. We take
people to their special organised programs
during the week (music, art) and we have to sit
sort of on the sidelines so that we can take them
back at the conclusion of their programs.

However, we are present and actively involved.
What all of us are doing we're doing with love
and what we're doing has a purpose.

The slippery Liberal senator signore Matteo Canavan has resigned from cabinet. The bloke has duel citizenship, he is an Italian citizen as well. I say he should do the honourable thing and resign from Parliament, no ifs or buts. just "incredible sloppiness" by the Liberal Party, Another headache for Money Bags Malcolm, with the Mad Monk already snapping at his heels. Shameful.

Addio signore Canavan.

Canavan has admitted he has Italian citizenship saying "I am a citizen of Italy"

Dear Paul,

I wrote on the other thread that this is
getting beyond the point of absurdity.

It was the mother of Matt Canavan who
sought Italian citizenship for herself
recently (maybe she wanted an extra
pension) and she signed her adult son up
as well without telling him. He knew
nothing about it, did not agree to it
nor signed anything and being an adult
when she did this I would question the
legality of her actions.

She only told him recently, after what
happened to Senators Ludlum and Waters.
The man has resigned in the meantime, which
I think is ridiculous. This case should go
in front of the courts and quickly.

Dear Foxy,

How interesting: while you sit on the sidelines, watching the program and the aged people, my orchestra is producing the music to entertain them.

Regarding Canavan, I am glad that you start seeing the absurdity of it all - this is where obsession with the rule of law and its punitive spirit leads to.

Hi Foxy,

I would love to agree with you, and normally I would. But I see a golden opportunity here,its payback time! Not to be missed, now where is leoj and SM and a few others.
I don't care if his Mum did make him a I'tite, our illustrious forefathers who wrote the Aussie Constitution thought of that eventuality, and all the other eventualities as well... and said; "Nah Aussie for the British and bugger the rest!" Sir Henry will be turning in his grave to think these you know whats are entering our illustrious parliament. If we don't nip this in the bud, next thing you know there will be all sorts wanting to sit in parliament, even gentlemen from outside the empire! Can't have that.

Paul,

After your two slippery MPs lost their seats you must be crowing, and if Matt Canavan is indeed legally an Italian citizen then he must resign from the cabinet and Senate.

The reason that this would have escaped the vetting process is that MC was not born in Italy and neither were his parents, and his mother applied for Italian citizenship on his behalf when he was 26 without his permission or knowledge, unlike slipshod greens who were born with foreign citizenship.

MC still has a slim chance in that as an adult his mother should not have been able to apply on his behalf, and if that is true, then his citizenship is an error which can be back dated to 2006.
