I'm not a fan of Barnaby Joyce, nor do I support the National Party. But it seems to me a stupid thing that he is considered to be a foreign citizen and therefore ineligible to hold public office. He was born in Australia, grew up in Australia and still lives in Australia. He never applied for NZ citizenship, or even knew that NZ citizenship was automatically his by default. He is only considered to be a NZ citizen by the NZ government because his father was a Kiwi.
If his political opponents want him kicked out of office it should be for a sensible reason, not something as pissweak as this.
My mother was born in Scotland. Does that make me a UK citizen by default? Well, in my particular case it doesn't. It only makes me eligible to apply for UK citizenship, but it doesn't happen automatically. The rules are complicated though. If it was my father who'd been born in UK, or if I had been born a decade later, I would have automatically been a UK citizen.
The point I'm trying to make is that the rules are determined by legal meanderings of a foreign government which have nothing to do with Australian law. Shouldn't we be making our own rules about this sort of thing?
. Seems the Crows knew they were going to a showdown but Port thought it was a 'Slowdown'. ???
