Section 44 is a case in point. Here something I wrote last year, maybe some food for thoughts.
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/malcolm-turnbull-to-receive-report-o... "The chair of an inquiry ordered by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull amid the dual citizenship crisis says a constitutional provision banning millions of Australians from being elected to Parliament is broken and should be overturned at a referendum." "Section 44 has unintentionally created two classes of Australian citizenship," she said. "Not only is this out of step with other areas of contemporary Australian life, it's also out of step with most western democracies which allow dual citizens to serve in Parliament, including the UK, US and Canada." "UK, US and Canada". Aussie slang for the rest of the world, the countries newsworthy if not Australia;-) Regards Peter
