Interesting thing is that Jordon Steele-John, the likely successor to Ludlam, actually went to a great deal of trouble during the last election to ensure that he was indeed an Australian citizen. So if he could, why not the others?

This pair have shown that they are either liars or incompetent.

As such we are much better off without them in parliament.

As they are greens, it is highly probable their replacements will be no better.

Why indeed didn't Ludlum and Waters renounce their
New Zealand and Canadian citizenships?

Perhaps it is just possible that they are telling us
the truth. That it did not occur to them to check on
their relationship with a nation they left at a very
young age and never knew. Perhaps they were genuinely
oblivious to the fact that they had to,concentrating instead
more on doing a good job as Senators for their electorates.
We can speculate all we like on those issues.

Of course some people are more interested in condemnation and
punishment than in explanation. Explanations seem tantamount
to sympathizing and excusing.

I guess it will be up to the courts now to decide the answer
to that question. Perhaps the courts will take into account
the fact that both Senators thought that their
Australian Citizenship and their Oath of Allegiance to
Australia was enough proof of "national loyalty"
and therefore acceptance of a place in our Parliament.

We'll have to wait and see what develops.

They are opposed to Australia as a separate nation, are all for 'Open Borders' and are all for the 'One World' government of the totalitarian International Socialists that would deny Australians any real say in their own affairs and destiny.

Previous Greens leader Bob Brown, who has been playing pirate on the High Seas with Sea Shepherd (who do get up to nasty things under the guise of 'being nice' to whales), proposed himself as the First President of the New World Order/Government.

Just saying, where the Greens are already sworn to the goals of International Socialism (or worse!) and support 'One World' overlords ruling Australia instead, they would not be placing much value on the Australian Constitution anyhow. Australian citizenship wouldn't count for much either where they are concerned, except for the availability of 'Wonderful Centrelink' to attract the sort of 'diversity' they and grubs like Soros want to disrupt Australian culture and traditions, especially Australian Law and democratic institutions.

The contempt for Australian culture and values and its democratic and legal inheritances is very strong among some here.

Section 44 (i).
"44. Any person who -

(i.) Is under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power: or ...."

In all this, spare a thought for those born overseas who cannot renounce their birth citizenship because the laws of their birth nation do not allow it; are they to be forever barred from public office?

Then there are the Irish, who, if a parent or a grandparent was born in Ireland are automatically citizens of Ireland.

How many MsP are affected by having relevant Irish ancestors?
