Citizenship: Senator Fiona Nash reveals she UK-Australian – ANOTHER ONE, It’s getting CRAZY

NATIONALS deputy leader Fiona Nash is the latest MP to be embroiled in the dual citizenship drama after revealing to the Senate she may be a dual UK-Australian citizen.

Senator Nash has told federal parliament she had received advice from the UK Home Office that she may be a British citizen.

Senator Nash said tonight she sought advice on Monday from the UK Home Office about her citizenship status.

A caseworker advised her she “was of the view” that she was a British citizen by descent through her Scottish-born father.

Like the dual nationality case of Barnaby Joyce, Senator Nash’s case will be referred to the High Court.

Senator Nash said based on the advice of the solicitor-general, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had advised there is no need for her to step down as deputy Nationals leader or resign from cabinet.

The Senate would be asked to refer her case to the High Court when parliament returns on September 4.
