Yes, I am. In my contribution to the debate earlier during the day I did refer to the member for Braddon and the member for Longman, who have been the subject of an advice by the former Commonwealth Solicitor-General, Dr David Bennett QC.

In fact, those two members—the member for Braddon and the member for Longman—delayed by almost a year after they were preselected as the Labor Party candidate for those seats before they even initiated the process of renouncing their UK citizenship.
