The government's position is that terrorists who have dual citizenship should be stripped of their Australian citizenship. We will strip citizenship from terrorists who are dual nationals. That is the government's position.

The opposition's position, first of all, was that this was 'dog whistling'. Then it was 'support in principle' and now it is opposition, because terrorists should be brought back to Australia. That is what the shadow Attorney-General said. If the leader of the opposition does not support that position he should tell us now.
