The dual citizenship crisis continues to haunt the Parliament into 2018.
Mr Pyne's claim about Ms Lamb's citizenship status is a good call. Ms Lamb's own legal advice confirms that she obtained British citizenship by descent at birth. She applied to renounce her British citizenship before nominations for the 2016 election closed, but she did not enclose any evidence of her British citizenship with her application, as is required by the UK Home Office (and explained in its guidance notes). After the election, she provided some documents, but her application was still rejected. On publicly available information, she has not sought a review of the Home Office decision or made a new renunciation application. There is no evidence that the British Secretary of State has registered a declaration of her renunciation, which the Australian High Court has described as "the moment at which British citizenship is lost". Whether or not in the circumstances her continuing status as an Australian and British dual citizen means she is ineligible to remain in Parliament is a matter for the High Court to decide.
