So the only people with enough guaranteed legitimacy are the pure blood indigenous.
They're getting their land back in the end simply because there can be no question of a conjoined citizenship is lurking in their closet.
What an effing joke....only in Australia....
and everyone wonders why the world is laughing
I gotta get a safer chair...I keep falling off when I laugh

Joe,

There is no 'problem'; it is Australian Constitutional law, not some "old British law" as poor, confused Foxy claims. It can only be changed by referendum, and that's never going to happen.

As for your own apparent confusion about the Queen and the Governor-General. The Australia Act took care of that a long time ago.

Constitutional lawyer, George Williams thinks that the High Court decision on the dual citizenship fiasco was geared to a black letter approach to the law and a 'leaning away' from activism. He also said that it was necessary to have an audit because he suspected that a number of other MPs would be ineligible under Section 44 if their dual citizenship was disclosed.

Perhaps Foxy could try out her "discussion" skills with Professor Williams, who is a Leftish gentleman who clearly doesn't let his politics get in the way of Constitutional Law, unlike some.

BTW I believe the High Courts finding was unanimous.

Anyone who is now found to be a dual citizen should be deported. To Manus!
They know they are illegal and any more like Parry should be summarily dealt with as liars and criminal law breakers.

I would settle for having dual citizenship abolished for everybody, mikk, politicians or not. It is a bad idea, which makes the loyalty of Australia of those with it doubtful. Many of them are probably using the citizenship of a foreign country to get them out of here if we were ever in danger. Either be Australian without conditions, or bugger off.

"When the Australian Constitution was drafted in the
1890s, allegiance was given to the Crown, not to a
territory. We all shared the status of British
subjects, and a person born in Australia could be
elected to parliament in Britain, New Zealand, Canada,
and other places, and vice versa. There was no need
for renunciation or denunciation of allegiance."

This was taken from the link given below.
It explains further for anyone who wants to learn more.
(There's also plenty more on the web about the history
of Section 44i of the Australian Constitution).
