Today during question time the Prime Minister claimed that I and Labor had changed our position today on stripping citizenship from dual nationals who are fighting against Australia with a terrorist group. This is completely untrue. In fact, I have stated my in principle support for this proposal on at least three occasions since 27 May and again today. A statement on 26 May says:

Labor is open to any sensible change to the Citizenship Act that improves our current system.

Currently, the Act states that a person will have their citizenship revoked if they serve in the military of a nation at war with Australia.
