Datalife.  Questions:

1.  Do you agree Abbott was born in the UK and emigrated with his parents (one of whom - his Father was a Pom) to Australia?

2.  Do you agree that to be awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in Australia, one must be an Australian Citizen?

Go.



A I agree,

B.  No idea.  Another thing you can find along with proof that he has dual citizenship as well as proof that possession of dual citizenship precludes you from pm.

Not me making any claims or assumptions. 


Get back to me when you have found out for yourself.  You won't believe anyone else.


I am happy to look at any references or links you can provide. No need for me to go looking, I am not the one making claims.

It is no more than you demand from others.  It this more lefty do as I say not as I do shoot of thought?  Grin

Re B. I thought that was shown on the last page. You can't be an MP in the house of reps stuff. If you can't be an MP you can't be a PM as the PM is an MP.

Dual citizenship has not been demonstrated yet.  The constitution and its interpretation with non codified powers and conventions is the next hurdle.

I know dual citizenship has not been determined but the constitution seems redundantly clear. I have my doubts about him holding dual citz, my dad had to give up his to work for the RAAF even after serving in 1RAR in Korea when it was OK.

That said, if he does have dual citizenship, everything he has done has no gravitas, no foundation, a fraud. I'll just watch for now. Wink

And yet all the sources which could confirm that there is no duel citizenship refuse to do so.

If the constitution is as you say, redundantly clear why is the federal govt not looking after my dental care? That also is "reduntantly" clear.  But I am not an constitutional lawyer nor do I play one on the interwebs.

How can a person put their hand up to become an elected representative of Australia when part of their heart belongs to another land? What is good for the pollies is good for the people. Citizenship should be openly and profoundly cherished by those born with it as much as those who seek it.


If Tony Abbott can not produce the relevant form RN this means he has entered parliament 8 times as a dual national. Once may be construed as a mistake, 8 times is a matter the police should investigate.


An online petition with more than 5400 signatories has called on Mr Abbott, who was born in London to a British father, to produce his British citizenship renunciation form.
A spokesman for Mr Abbott last night would say only: “The Prime Minister is an Australian citizen and he does not hold citizenship of any other country.”
His office refused to provide documents verifying this and would not say if Mr Abbott had renounced British citizenship.


Both the Australian and British Home Offices have been offering vague responses to a Queensland blogger’s probe into Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbotts citizenship.

Hi aussie, you found any reference or link yet to support your claims?  After all they were basic facts.....

Legally?  I have no idea based on observed fact.

Morally?  Not on your life

Mentally?  Not on your life.
