My question is to the Prime Minister. It goes to the eligibility of members of cabinet to hold office. The Deputy Prime Minister told ABC Radio:
Unfortunately that's the law … They were members of parliament, but it's quite clear on Section 44 you can't be a member of parliament and have dual citizenship—it's black and white.
Why isn't the Prime Minister holding his deputy to his own standards?
