Is Australia's PM a British citizen?

[DiscoMick]

Interesting story. Goes like this:
1. Abbott was born in Britain
2. Abbott came to Australia
3. Abbott went to Oxford as a British (not Australian) citizen
4. Abbott became an Australian citizen
5. Did Abbott ever renounce his British citizenship?
6. If Abbott is still a British citizen, he is banned under our constitution from being a member of the Australian parliament.
7. Abbott's staff have refused to respond for requests for proof that Abbott has renounced his British citizenship.
8. Inquiries are continuing, thanks to a Queensland blogger.

With a bit of luck they might take him back.

Probably a good reason why they sent him here in the first place

If there had been any issue Labor would have been onto this long ago.

If the same rules applied to the union movement there would be no one left, all the Poms and Scotts wouldn't know what to do with themselves.

Wasn't a one nation candidate forced to renounce her british citizenship.

Not to mention the Welsh, especially the red haired, lying, backstabbing females of the world.

Not thinking of any one in particular

They do love him over there, more than their own.

so if he was to lose the next election, I reckon he'd get the gig back there.

The election of Australia's new PM Tony Abbott is clear evidence that genuine conservative policies can win elections | Mail Online
