On Thursday 18 June, the Prime Minister claimed that I wanted to 'welcome back' terrorists to Australia. On 21 June, the Prime Minister also claimed that I said we should get terrorists back to Australia. Both statements are completely false. I have repeatedly stated that any dual citizen taking up arms against Australia should be stripped of their citizenship. The misrepresentation by the Prime Minister puts politics before national security.
