My question is to the minister representing the Deputy Prime Minister, Senator Nash. I refer to the Deputy Prime Minister, who has previously stated:

It's quite clear under Section 44, you can't be a member of parliament and have dual citizenship. It's black and white. The outcome is black and white. That's just, that's just the way it is.

Given the Deputy Prime Minister is a citizen of New Zealand, can the minister confirm his situation is black and white?
