Malcolm Roberts (Queensland, Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party) Share this | Hansard source

From the moment that Senator Waters resigned, I have called for a review of all MPs' and senators' citizenship and stated that I would present my documents to such a review. I initiated, and I continue to support, such a review for impartial and independent assessment of citizenship. That is contrary to Senator Di Natale's statement just a few minutes ago—completely contrary. And I remind senators here that Senator Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party 19 years ago started earnestly to question citizenship. This is not something that we come to as Johnny-come-lately. This is something that we started 19 years ago and, in this instance, I started.

Our supporters have been very strong in their support of me, and they have said: 'Hang in there, mate. This shouldn't be happening.' And I have said to them, 'This should be happening. This is our constitution at work.'
