House debates Questions without Notice

National Security: Citizenship

Tuesday, 16 June 2015 House of Representatives

Richard Marles

Richard Marles Corio, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Border Protection

My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. I refer to the government's blatantly political confidential briefing note on the revocation of Australian citizenship, which states:

A law requiring a terrorist conviction would be toothless.

Can the minister confirm that, under his citizenship proposal, he as minister will make the decision to revoke Australian citizenship from a dual citizen suspected of fighting against Australia?
