So far. Ludlam might have a problem, but I doubt Waters will. Her case shows how easy it is to fall foul of that regulation. Hopefully it will be tightened up.

Ludlam was apparently written to about 3 years ago for documentation to confirm his staus. He ignored it.

Piss them off, record a conviction for fraud, fine them, and stamp their papers never to represent again.

They were both previously challenged and put on notice publicly about their fraud, and both chose to run the gauntlet.

Game over, you lose Thumbs Down.
In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

It is rumoured there are a number of others from all over the spectrum that may have problems with dual citizenship. It is up to Bookshelves Brandis to determine what happens to ''offenders'', so I would think with the govt having a one seat majority, it will depend on whether there are any lower house Liberals as to the punishment. Maybe like the travel rorts they will just do nothing or give people the opportunity to update their details.

Yes, this is a critical and serious issue and people deserve to be sacked. We can't have New Zealand and Canada spies working in our parliament.

Yep, so absurd. It's only because they are Greens that the usual suspects want them to resign and be charged with fraud.

There is a sitting National Party govt minister who is in trouble under the same section 44 of the Act but not citizenship. It is the same clause that forced Bob Day out of his Senate seat.

You cannot nominate for the Senate or the House of Representatives if you are

*  disqualified by section 44 of the Constitution

That advice is at the top of the list on the Electoral Commission's nomination guide for candidates, followed by detailed instructions to read the electoral backgrounder on constitutional disqualifications.

Easier than you might think. My sister is going through the process for her and her 2 adult kids. A year into the process and neither kid has had any involvement in the process My sister has done everything, and is just awaiting final approval now. Getting a passport will be different as you have to attend interviews yourself but getting citizenship not so

The point is they dont need to, so it is plausible My nephew didn't know till about 6 months into the process They weren't going to tell him. He was doing a lot of traveling and there was an opportunity to get a UE passport, through a citizenship, which they intended surprising him with

Plausible that a mother would obtain citizenship of another country for their adult child without ever telling them? Plausible that they would neglect to tell them when they became aware that they intended to run for parliament? 

 That sounds insanely implausible to me. It could only occur with a collective, family madness.

Came across an interesting article trying to find out if Canavan's father was alive. Bryan Canavan is the name of his father. Worked for Nestle at one time.Wink

So the story which we have concocted after consultation with our lawyers is that Mum obtained Italian citizenship for all 4 of us kids, without any of us ever being aware of it, before or after. And there rests my defence, Your Honours. I plead insanity- Mama is crazy.
