Bye Bye Bananarby and please pay back that salary and all claimed expenses.

No surprises here. I would love to read the judgment.

Interesting that Canavan and Xenophon were not contravening s 44(i) according to the High Court.

The surprise is Canavan and the Zen got to stay.

I only skimmed it but the nub appears to be the taking reasonable measures to renounce foreign citizenship, and not knowing you were is no excuse.

basically onus on the person seeking election to check and take reasonable steps as required.

Relies heavily on historical intent and past decisions as precedent.

The biggest noises would have come from the NZ and British High Commission staff in Canberra. "Phark" There may be a sudden influx of mainly university students applying

To

A. Renounce ctizenship they didn't know they had.
B. Enquiring whether they were or were not eligible for Uk and/or NZ citizenship
C. I am travelling to Europe for a gap year.Please can I have a British passport before Brexit comes in so I can get around easier.

The Kiwis might want to have a look at there laws as well.
