Where is the evidence of renunciation? Where is the evidence that demonstrates that so many of those opposite do not have dual citizenship? They've been asked by journalists; it's been batted away. The member for Isaacs has been asked. He's assured us that everything is fine. Has he checked the documents? I don't think so. Maybe he has, but the reality is that the Labor Party has an absolute double standard. They will stop at nothing to undermine the government of the Commonwealth of Australia, even to the extent of conspiring with a foreign political party. And they will not fess up to the Australian people and disclose the facts relating to the dual citizenship of any of their members—or not. They can do so: put the cards on the table, produce the documents. How about a little bit of candour and transparency from Labor, just for a change? (Time expired)
