Dual Citizenship Crisis - s 44(i)

For all the simpletons, if you work or wish to work in the Australian defence sector, you have to declare your full history of your birth, including relatives and where they were born with proof. This even occurs in the "baseline" classification, which is the lowest level. The higher the security classification the deeper the Government check your history. How Politicians are not made to follow the same procedure is amazing.

It's not the hard. Section 44 is clear and what we have had occur is people failing to check their birth history. They are not applying for just an everyday job, it's a job in Government.

Interested to see if Alex Hawke holds Greek citizenship.

If he does, then I'm very likely to be unknowingly a dual citizen as well.

Add Jason Falinski (Libs) to the list of those under the microscope.

I love how if ALP MP's or Senators are found to be dual citizens then this is somehow a victory for Turnbull. Turnbull comes out in his proposal with "personal obligation" and I have no doubt there will be a plethora of loop holes to avoid punishment. I would suggest that after all the rhetoric and the High Court rulings, if a current sitting MP or Senator has any doubts or is unsure about their citizenship and they haven't done any checking or come forward. If they are now found to be a dual citizen, then not only should they be removed from office and charged; they then should be ruled out for contesting any bi election and be made to paid to back any monies, plus interest. This goes for all MP's and Senators no matter who they represent. Section 44 is clear and the highest court in the land has ruled it is as well.

The media are now doing the work of the Parliament and we have 8 MP's in the lower house and 3 Senators citizenships is in question. It's 4 LNP and 4 ALP in the lower house. All 11 should front the High Court.
