Re: Dual Citizenship A Barrier ?
Sigh, no.
It really is complicated, I've spent some time looking through the laws, what with Cyprus being a colony and laws changing a few times. Personally I think he's going to be found to a dual citizen, but it's a whole other class of complexity to Mr 5-Min-Check Joyce.

I could but then just common sense thee is a huge difference between Britain/Canada compared to India or Russia in terms of affinity and alliance with NZ.

That or it actually confirms what has already been said repeatedly.
Sigh. Everyone living in the British Empire was a British subject until 1949 and then they weren't. Unless he naturalised as an Australian citizen Joyce's father has only ever been a Kiwi since. Just because he left New Zealand two years prior didn't magically place him in some kind of citizenship stasis. To cap it all off the NZ government has already confirmed Joyce is a NZ citizen so I'm not really sure why you're still trying to argue the toss.

Nick Xenophon confirmed as dual citizen of the United Kingdom
And he's refusing to step aside. Another one with wonky ethics.

Word has come in, and he IS a dual citizen, via the "British Overseas Citizen" ruleset that I was trying to figure out (yes it is complicated).

Additionally, it would be interesting to know that having 'discovered' they are dual citizens, how many have taken steps to now renounce that second citizenship.
All of the political parties should have processes in place to ensure that members remain within this law, and all laws really. Everyone is fed up with self serving politicians on all sides.

It (the ad) is a Sky favourite at half-time. Scouse watches the football, I only watch this advert I live in the UK.
