If people can't find out, given their own personal circumstances, whether or not they have or may have dual citizenship, they are not fit to govern us. As Williams points out, it took him 3 minutes on Google to conclude that Joyce is a NZ citizen. It's like a stupidometer.

The indigenous recognition referendum hasn't got a snowball's chance in hell of getting through. Any other question that gets asked on the same day will also struggle.

It does seem like a bit of a lost cause, I agree.

Using Barnaby Joyce to calibrate a stupidometer is like using Trumble to calibrate a leadershipmeter.

There will be a lot who say they voted yes when in fact they didn't.
