How can Labor still be unscathed by this? Surely only a matter of time...

The ALP went through this when I was younger. They put a system in place from memory. That's not to say it won't happen. Stephen Parry's arrogance is a perfect example why we have so many LNP's caught up in this.

So, the Senate has no President. What if no one notices? Perhaps it would be best if they just used the Parliament as temporary shelter for homeless people.

Frydenberg now. This is a disgrace. The Hungarian and other states who were happy to see the back of the jews now can make laws for those they repulsed children. How many of these jewish stateless people were offered therir home and possessions back. Toi be honest if this is an issue then Frydenberg should take this to the UN and see what they say. The whole business of Government, right or wrong, has been hamstrung by something it was never ment to be.

It is simple. Did Hungary offer to take back the refugee Jews. If the answer is no then back off. Stateless means that. I decline to be a stateless person. The world has gone mad. Who is the arsehole who brought this up in the first place.

Precisely. The longer this goes on, the more absurd our constitutional provisions on dual citizenship look. Cases like Frydenberg's should highlight how absurd and unjust our law is. Let's hope that common sense wins out and parliament can start to lay the groundwork for a referendum.

Shorten is now backing an audit, as he should. Bring it on and as far as I am concerned Section 44 should remain as it is.

Huge backflip by Shorten, but I want an audit as well.

It's become ridiculous now.

Perhaps we need a complete look at the whole constitution. I mean look at bullshit in the USA about the right to bear arms etc whilst having 100s left in Guantanamo bay with no such a thought of their basic human rights.
