The High Court has decided that latest section 44 case, concerning Katie
Gallagher. The report is here -
http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/cth/HCA//2018/17.html

As was expected, she lost. None of the judges gave her any lee-way. It
was a common garden variety of the application of section 44 to someone
who failed to do what was necessary to meet the requirements of section
44. The judges have made it clear that such people deserve no sympathy.

There was some discussion of the fantasy by which a mischievous country
could impose its citizenship on an Australian citizen, or the difficulty
an Australian citizen might have in renouncing the citizenship of
another country. Neither applied in this case, which was abundantly clear.

In the situation where a mischievous country did impose its citizenship
on an Australian citizen, there is now the possibility that the court
could find that the relevant law of the country would not be recognised
by Australian courts because the country would be in breach of
international law. This situation is, however, still in the area of
fantasy. Even in the case of Russia,

http://tinyurl.com/yc9rtpk9
Section 44(i) of the Australian Constitution says that a person is
incapable of being elected to the Senate or the House of
Representatives or sitting as a member of either house, if they are "a
subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a
subject or a citizen of a foreign power".

Let's break that down.

If you are "entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject ... of a
foreign power", you are ineligible to be elected to, or to serve in,
Federal Parliament. You don't have to have the rights and privileges
of a subject of a foreign power -- you just have to be entitled to
those rights and privileges.

Now, consider the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, a country
consisting of two tiny islands in the Caribbean Sea, remote from
Australia, with a population smaller than Bathurst's. Under s. 44 of
our Constitution, it is a "foreign power" (you don't have to be
powerful to be a foreign power, just foreign).

Suppose that Saint Kitts and Nevis tomorrow amended its citizenship
laws so that every Australian citizen was entitled to the rights and
privileges of a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Result? Because of
s. 44, all members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate
would be rendered incapable of sitting in Federal Parliament. And,
nobody would be capable of being elected to either house of Parliament
to replace them. Section 44 of the Constitution thus has the weird
effect of making eligibility to be elected to and serve in the
Australian Parliament dependent on the citizenship law of other
countries -- all 195 of them.

Your example is utterly hypothetical, you say. Absurd, you say. Could
never happen, you say.

Guess what? Much closer to home, under recent and little-noticed
changes to New Zealand law, Australian citizens now don't need a visa
to live, study or work in the Land of the Long White Cloud. That's
right: Any Australian citizen is entitled to live, study and work
there.

That means we're ALL entitled to the rights and privileges of a
subject of New Zealand -- not a citizen, with the attached rights and
privileges such as voting -- but to be a subject of that country,
living there, subject to New Zealand law, working or studying. And
there's no doubt that New Zealand is a "foreign power" -- you only
have to watch the All Blacks do the haka to realise that.

What does this mean?

New Zealand law has made every Australian citizen incapable of being
elected to, or serving in, the Australian Parliament. It's not just

No but the position under the oaths act reserves the position only for
Church of England (Anglican) Christians, not Jews or Catholics, many
decisions by the HC have a political not judicial judgment.

As you are wishing to change S44 for convenience of a party system HC
judges also need to be voted for.

I don't think that the idea in practice of electing judges as in the US
is likely to be adopted elsewhere in the world, including here.

But, in theory, there is nothing wrong with it. Public officials
should, in principle, be elected by those they serve, whether it's the

By doing so politicisation of the public services will become unavoidable.
Specially in the filed of justice and law enforcement that defeats the

Highly unlikely!
No
No democracy requires much if its citizens when they select members of
the legislature to represent them. Selecting judges is different, and
selecting the head of State is usually a non-issue in the Westminster
system.
Rubbish. Many States in USA, all of Japan do it with better success
with decisions and public than those without.

The evidence said "According to the secret documents released by
Parliament on Thursday, the head of the inquiry, Sir George Lush,
notified Parliament in September 1986 that the aborted inquiry had made
"no findings of fact" and had therefore "formed no conclusions or
opinions whether any conduct of the Judge has been such as to amount to
proved misbehaviour"."

Saying that the allegations showed he played it very fast and loose with
his influence and with his mates. Not imo a great look for a HC judge

No it wasn't. When an election is called seats become vacant. With a
change of Gov. by loss of confidence the PM ( person with the confidence
of the majority of the House) asks the GG to swear in new ministers the
old ones don't resign they are basically sacked, well just aren't
ministers any-more.

It's the GG who decides who his/her PM and Ministers will be. Usually,
it's an easy decision to make. He/she appoints the PM and Ministers as
his/her Ministers. They hold the appointment at the pleasure of the GG
ie an appointment can be terminated by the GG at any moment.

As the GG acts on the advice of the executive ie the person/people that

unlikely. Of course the GG can be sacked at anytime by the Executive.

God no! That is how one ends up with the idiot US system. Australian
officials are public servants already so that is precisely why they are
not elected. They represent the interests of ALL Australians not just
the one's who elected them.

Sadly sincee that evil little gnome Howard started politicising the

public service it's no longer as strong in that area as it should be.
"Ours" is better?
Shit yeah!!!!!! Do read your cites and try to understand them before you

Being a judge isn't the result of a popularity contest.

might make them perform better. To many judges are to
lenient with criminals and need voting out.
We need celebrity populist judges (US style) like we need pestilence!
I don't think that the idea in practice of electing judges as in the US
is likely to be adopted elsewhere in the world, including here.
But, in theory, there is nothing wrong with it.  Public officials
should, in principle, be elected by those they serve, whether it's the
head of State, members of the legislature or members of the judiciary.
Even down to teachers, dog catchers and street sweepers.
Change of Government requires they all offer resignation?
God no!  That is how one ends up with the idiot US system.  Australian
officials are public servants already so that is precisely why they are
not elected.  They represent the interests of ALL Australians not just
the one's who elected them.
Sadly sincee that evil little gnome Howard started politicising the
public service it's no longer as strong in that area as it should be.
Public servants are employees who are appointed as part of the executive
branch to implement decisions of the executive. They don't represent
the interests of anyone except those above them in the executive branch.

At the higher levels of the public service, they traditionally give
frank and fearless advice to the relevant Minister(s) if and when asked,
but they are bound to carry out the wishes of Ministers. That what they
get paid to do. If they don't want to do that, they are free to resign.

All public servants, especially those at higher levels, know that
Ministers come and go.

The shift in the orientation in the public service is that, at one time,
Ministers received little serious advice about what might be done other
than from the public service. Things have changed. Ministers now have
significant personal staff who give advice, and who sometimes act as if
they are the Minister.

Since section 44 doesn't apply to High Court judges, the point you are
making escapes you.
No but the position under the oaths act reserves the position only for
Church of England (Anglican) Christians, not Jews or Catholics, many
decisions by the HC have a political not judicial judgment.
As you are wishing to change S44 for convenience of a party system HC
judges also need to be voted for.

That means we're ALL entitled to the rights and privileges of a
subject of New Zealand -- not a citizen, with the attached rights and
privileges such as voting -- but to be a subject of that country,
living there, subject to New Zealand law, working or studying. And
there's no doubt that New Zealand is a "foreign power" -- you only
have to watch the All Blacks do the haka to realise that.
What does this mean?
New Zealand law has made every Australian citizen incapable of being
elected to, or serving in, the Australian Parliament. It's not just
Barnaby Joyce: It's everyone!
Pity that it's all bullshit.
Maybe by unselected high court judges!
Bullshit. They are very obviously selected. but they are not
"selected" by uninformed and pig ignorant members of the public. And
thank God for that small mercy. Otherwise we'd end up with the

Judges are traditionally responsible to the legislature ie the

That means we're ALL entitled to the rights and privileges of a
subject of New Zealand -- not a citizen, with the attached rights and
privileges such as voting -- but to be a subject of that country,
living there, subject to New Zealand law, working or studying. And
there's no doubt that New Zealand is a "foreign power" -- you only
have to watch the All Blacks do the haka to realise that.
What does this mean?
New Zealand law has made every Australian citizen incapable of being
elected to, or serving in, the Australian Parliament. It's not just
Barnaby Joyce: It's everyone!
Pity that it's all bullshit.
Maybe by unelected high court judges!
Bullshit. They are very obviously selected. but they are not
"selected" by uninformed and pig ignorant members of the public. And
thank God for that small mercy. Otherwise we'd end up with the
appalling US system.

In the situation where a mischievous country did impose its citizenship
on an Australian citizen, there is now the possibility that the court
could find that the relevant law of the country would not be recognised
by Australian courts because the country would be in breach of
international law.
How would it be in breach of international law and why would that have
any legal impact on the constitutional issue?

Australia just needs to define "citizen" in the second bit of section
44(i) without taking foreign law into account.
Then put it to referendum
Such brain-fart you're going to lose.

Australia loses

All it takes to stand for Federal Election is for candidate to tick a
box on form claiming that he/she/it conforms to Section 44 then sign
it!

Has or does Malcolm Turnbull conform to Australian allegiance?
His tax obligations are in the Cayman Islands!

The bit you snipped was that when I complained to the AEC 10 years ago
about non-Australians claiming to be Australian they were not
interested.

As long as the box was checked paper signed it would never be checked
out.

Took a West Australian Lawyer to take one alien to court for the whole
hoax to unravel. Then there are politically appointed High Court
Judges doing a injustice!
Too many judges need voting out.

You've just repeated the same shit and not dealt wit the point. "They"
can tick the box, but there better not be any skeletons showing, because
now, the gloves are clearly off.

Your actual claim is wrong as the WA bod didn'ty take anyone to court. He
was looking into someone else, when he found out about a Green and made
that person aware and the Green resigned. Everyone else basically dug it
until the majors thought thery could make political mileage out of it.

I must say I agree with Pez and we should have a referendum to reform
the citizenship Part of Sect 44 to bring it in line with the States and
stop all this BS.
Seems easy to me?

Australia just needs to define "citizen" in the second bit of section
44(i) without taking foreign law into account.

Then put it to referendum

We can't just simply ignore the existence international law and the
citizenship laws of other countries.
It can have unintended consequences!
Then put it to referendum
Any ideas you and your ilk are likely to put forward about citizenship
I'll certainly vote against!

There is NO constitutional crisis either!
If "our" Governor General did his job as he is paid to do there could
be!
He does his job ... smiling and shaking hands at state functions, etc....
What not his job is to create any sorts of crisis that fucks up democracy
in OZ.
Newsflash: OZ is NOT an absolute monarchy with a monarch (or its
representative) ruling over life and death of the subservient serfs.

You need a time machine to switch to past centuries if that is what you
prefer.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ordered the inquiry at the height of
the crisis last year.
So where are then the "findings" of a "crisis"?
At the bottom of your goonbag?
Turnbull is hiding it. it is known he has a Hungarian and a Pole in his
party (Jason Falinski, Josh Frydenberg. Why haven't they been referred
to the High Court for determination?)
Bulldust! Being of Polish or Hungarian descent does not disqualify anyone
from serving as an MP. So unless you can prove any existence of their
current foreign citizenship status you better return to soaking your
brain in goon bag juice!

So far a dozen politicians have been embroiled in the saga and either
been forced to step down or reclaim their seats in a by-election.
So we are working through the list of politicians with dual citizenship
status. The issue is being dealt with right now. It will be sorted out!
There will be by-elections! And Pauline Hanson will remain fucked in
politics and left at the extremist margins. :P

War may be coming you don't think it is important to know what side

There will be NO war.
If your extremist ilk resort to terrorism to stir up civil unrest you'll
be dealt with swiftly and severely according to the draconian laws which
your ilk have pushed so hard to create against Muslims.
But you've never thought that these can be used just as effectively
against the alt-right and religious fundy extremists.

Mr Turnbull has hosed down that as a possibility, saying politicians
should just do their proper paperwork instead.
So what's wrong with that?

Petz dreams of Pauline Hanson taking over the government...fuck
democracy and all those who would love to stuff her back into her fish
and chips shop far away from politics.
Yeah. What a nice circus in Canberra! It'll play its course when the
whole country becomes sick and tired of their clowning around and those
from backstage operating politically motivated shit-stirrer creeps
finally get tired of beating the media drums!
So in summary...things will go back to normal and Pauline Hanson will
not become PM. Tough cookie for Petz!
Next idiotic Petz's brain fart!
I'm pretty sure everyone knows what side One Nation is on
We do! On the side of Pauline Hanson's bigotry, racism and self promotion.

Josh Frydenberg was an alien under Hungarian law when she was born so
could hardly be Hungarian

Bullshit! He's got documentary proof in the form of his mother's
immigration record that shows she had been declared "stateless". It can

His mother was a Hungarian Jew born in 1943 who, *according to him,*
arrived in Australia in 1950 as a stateless child from a refugee camp
after escaping from The Holocaust.

His mother has Budapest as her birth place 20/01/42
...and under Hungarian citizenship law (1993),
1/ A Hungarian person born in Hungary before 1920 or between 1941 and 1945 is automatically a citizen
2/ A child (born anywhere) of a citizen is automatically a citizen

Some UN official labelling a person born in Budapest in 1943 as "stateless" doesn't cancel either citizenship.
