Dual citizens in Parliament

[Lods]

Lods - can you imagine the campaign and who gets elected?  I really don't know now with so many unelected Senate members and the couple of by-elections.  Maybe it is a good chance to wipe the slate clean - although that was also meant to happen last time.  It is no wonder that Brexit, Trump etc get up.

Before we did go to a full election we would have to make sure every candidate was legit
That in itself would be a bit of a task.

You have to wonder though.... until this problem became an issue how many people have sat in Parliament over the years and been dual citizens.
It's the constitution that needs to change.
On swearing in as a member of Parliament surely it just needs a statement along the lines of "I hereby relinquish any previous allegiances and citizenship and pledge that my loyalty is to Australia alone."
