How to solve the dual nationality storm in Australian politics?

"Australian parliamentarians have recently frantically checked whether they have dual citizenship." According to reports, the Australian Constitution stipulates that a person with dual nationality may not serve as a member of the country. Recently, three members resigned from public office because of dual nationality. In this context, Australian parliamentarians began to "frantically" check whether they have the nationality of other countries.

Canavan, Minister of Resources, resigned.

According to the report, the Green Party was the most affected on this issue, and its vice-chairmen Ludram and Waters both resigned as parliamentarians due to dual citizenship. Radram was born in New Zealand and came to Australia with his family when he was 3 years old. He has Australian and New Zealand citizenship. Waters was born in Canada to Australian parents. When he was a baby, Waters had returned to Australia, but he still had Canadian citizenship. Before being exposed, both of them thought that they had Australian citizenship and automatically gave up the citizenship of another country. The third person affected by the "dual nationality" storm is Senator canavan, Australia's Minister of Resources and Northern Australia Affairs. His mother is of Italian descent. She applied for Italian citizenship for her family in 2006. At that time, Carnaveen was 25 years old and didn't know about it. At present, canavan has resigned as a minister, but still serves as a member of parliament. The Australian High Court will then decide whether he can continue to serve as a member of parliament.

After verification, 23 of the 25 foreign-born parliamentarians have expressed doubts about dual citizenship, including former Australian Prime Minister Abbott. Abbott wrote on Twitter: "Let's stop rumors. I gave up my British citizenship on 1993. " Labour Senator Dachiari Tucao said that he also spent 25,000 Australian dollars (about RMB 6,543,800+0,340 yuan) in legal fees to give up Iranian nationality.

Farr, a political commentator of Australian News Group, sneered that these members can't even fill in the basic personal list clearly, and their ability to handle affairs is so poor, how can they meet the requirements of being a member of parliament? Others said that they are concerned about how to ensure that elected members really work for Australia, rather than secretly worrying about other countries.

Many people are dissatisfied with politicians' obsession with dual nationality. They believe that the government should pay more attention to issues such as official travel expenses and asset disclosure, rather than details such as "dual nationality". Kildia, a senior lecturer in law at the University of New South Wales, said that Australia itself is an immigrant country. Whether public officials are loyal to the country cannot be judged by nationality alone, and people without dual nationality cannot guarantee true loyalty to the country.
