        Today's pollies should learn from their predecessors & be better political students. They can start by actually reading the constitution. Having a dual citizen in Canberra is just as wrong as dual citizens being able to vote in elections in the country they no longer live #auspol

        What a referendum that would be bound to fail. I will be voting for no change. A person who wants to create new laws should demonstrate an ability to obey existing laws.pic.twitter.com/Pv1Yvz0TlT

        You should not be a dual citizen if you are part of government It's not a hard concept to grasp Comply with the law Simple

        Any such referendum would be an absolute waste of the taxpayers money as it would have no hope in hell to be passed. Why not ask the politicians to comply with the constitution rather than changing the constitution to further water down our their commitment to this country.

        Are there more important issues that could go to referendum.

        We do not need a referendum, if some politicians are stupid enough to not understand that they cannot hold their positions with dual citizenship they shouldn't be in parliament. Slso, referendums are costly.

        No room for hyphenated-nationalities in our Parliament. I want someone whose stated loyalties lie with Australia. Full stop.
