Questions over citizenship a distraction: Shorten
Earlier, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten labelled reports he too may be a dual citizen as an attempt by the Coalition to distract from the farcical state of Federal Parliament.
“I’m fully aware that the Government is desperately trying to peddle its newest conspiracy that I’m a secret English agent,” Mr Shorten said.
“I renounced my citizenship in 2006, and there’s no whiff of evidence of anything to the contrary.”
On the ABC’s Q&A program on Monday night, he resisted calls to produce evidence he was not a dual citizen.
.....
It’s that old ‘one rule for thee and one rule for me’ in action.
Shorten himself has now tabled the evidence that he did renounce his British citizenship by descent shortly before he first ran for Parliament, so he's in the clear personally.
But there are a number of Labor MPs about whom legitimate questions have been raised who still have not done so, and the ALP is simply insisting that their own internal procedures mean they are in the clear and proof doesn't need to be presented.
