Why even bother having a Constitution?
Looks like the relevant constitutional provision is transparently and “literally” obvious in meaning. You cannot hold any other citizenship and be in Australia’s parliament. It does not matter when or how you acquired that citizenship. The language is simple and unequivocal.
So, of course, mush-headed lawyers and pols try to say the constitution should not be taken “literally”.... yeah, sure, just more mental corruption in the rapid decline of civilization.
OK so did he not know who his father was or that his father had a foreign nationality ???
I thought the father was going to be from a third world country like Obama’s was...well New Zealand is like an extreme foreign country to the Aussies ...the jealousy, etc
There’s been a long time feud between Aussies and New Zealanders...
I wouldn’t laugh. It’s absolutely no different than how most of our SCOTUS justices think.
