An Australian citizen wants to stand for election to the federal parliament. Which of these would stop them?
- aThey were born outside Australia and became citizens
- bThey live in a small country town, far from a city
- cThey are 30 years old and speak little English
- dThey also hold citizenship of another countryCorrect answer
Why?
A person who holds citizenship of another country cannot be elected to the federal parliament, so a dual citizen must first take steps to give up the other citizenship. Being 18 or over, how well they speak English, where they were born and where they live do not stop them.
