        Rebekha Sharkie has got some nerve getting into the govt about this issue. If she had any decency she would quit or at the very least resign herself. She was clearly a UK citizen when polls closed. She has to go. Her and her ALP UK mates are frauds sitting in Parl. #auspol

        It's simple, check and act before you nominate for election. If you are not prepared to ensure you are only an Australian citizen before nominated then Don't. Any idiot can understand that.

        Not bullying. They should make sure they are not dual citizenship BEFORE standing for election. Otherwise they should be charged.

        What if they just followed the rules and stopped expecting taxpayers to pay their legal bills.

        Voters want all MPs to be honest & fess up if there is any doubt - & have their salary stoped from moment this all became an issue - can't trust Labor to do this

        $11.6m to cover High Court referrals plus cost of by-elections, all on tax payers dime. I suggest you keep quiet for a bit.

        I don't suppose there is any chance of making them pay for the cost of a bi election either ?

        Don't nominate yourselves to be MPs without checking you qualify to be one.
