Yuyutsu,
We are talking about the Australian constitution; so if you feel our system of Government has been inflicted upon us; I'm sorry but obviously it might be time for you to find a society that suits your agenda. At least we can change our representatives, unlike some regimes.

Of course, all the usual Galahs are out trying to make a comparison with the two green idiots born overseas with BJ's obscure circumstances.

However, Joyce has done the honourable thing and referred his case to the high court to determine his status. If the high court rules that he was ineligible to be elected, a by election will be called, and Joyce now having relinquished any claims to NZ citizenship will probably stand against Tony Windsor and beat him again.

Shadow, the Galahs are going off in Canberra. With the so called Foreign Minister Bishop laughably calling the Barnyard nonsense a catalyst that will make it hard for the Australian Conservative Government to trust a NZ Labour Government. Claiming the NZ Labour Party played a role in trying to bring down the Turnbull Government.
NZ's Minister of Internal Affairs Peter Dunne (National Party) has confirmed it was Fairfax Media's investigation that led to the discovery of Barney's dual citizenship.
Is this bunch in Canberra so desperate to hang onto power that they are willing to risk Australia's long standing close relationship with New Zealand, over that fool Barnyard! Will they declare war? Laughable!

Its time for an election.

Paul,

You will get your election in 2 years. And it looks like the long knives are out for Diseased Rhiannon and her Eastern bloc.

I look forward to the PM referring the 5 Labor MPs that have refused to confirm their dual citizen status to the high court.

I cannot see how the High Court could NOT rule against Joyce. Section 44 is quite clear: you don't need to be a lawyer to understand it. Even the bit about doing everything you could have done to find out about your citizenship doesn't apply to Joyce. He did nothing, just like the others. If there is any justice and honesty at all in this country, he must go, as should the dual-citizen Coalition senator. I don't like the idea of a Labor government, but it is now clear that the Turnbull government has no right to be there for sound, clear constitutional reasons

Dear Shadow Minister,

Straight in with the Galah jibe I see. Right in there swinging from the get go.

Okay then let's get down to it.

What kind of duplicitous thinking permits you to compare Waters, born to two Australian parents who spent a short while in Canada where they gave birth to her, with a bloke whose father was a foreign national?

In that case why are we sending Australian born children off to other countries because their parents were born overseas but who ultimately failed to get citizenship here?

What has to happen in your brain to think his crime was in any way shape or form less than Waters'?

I said in another thread that the Green's had to go but so does Joyce. The thing is the departure of Ludlam and Waters has not caused a fresh by-election costing untold hundreds of thousands of dollars, Joyce's stupidity and hubris will. All taxpayers money.

Why are you defending this?
