While stating that its immigration policy shall be administered with the avoidance of discrimination on any ground of race, or colour or nationality, the same Labor Party Conference adopted a policy to advise Australian mothers to limit their families. [More…]
Surely it is better to retain control of immigration as this Government has done, to be able to draw back the numbers of migrants rather than to be confronted with a flood of people over which there can be no control concerning race, colour of skin or nationality. [More…]
If the policy of the Australian Labor Party were implemented little could be done to stop the flow of these people, so with 50,000 Indians coming into Australia - or 50,000 migrants of any nationality - they, their spouses and children would represent 100,000 to 150,000 people. [More…]

Surely the clear answer to that example is, as he put in his own words, that pensions from West Germany are paid only to Germans who retain their nationality. [More…]

For example, since 1966 there has been no nationality requirement for an Australian pension, while the residence qualification for age pension was halved, in 1962, from 20 years to 10 years. [More…]

[More…]
Yesterday the honourable gentleman adverted to dual nationality which is, of course, a matter of great complexity and gives rise to some impressive problems’. [More…]
However, their previous nationality had not been extinguished. [More…]
-This is a classic case of dual nationality. [More…]
The master nationality would be the nationality they first had. [More…]
It is the first case that I have encountered involving dual nationality where the master national state has not sought to inform the other state that it is holding within its power people who hold themselves out as being citizens of that state. [More…]
So I say to the honourable gentleman that to advance the argument that dual nationality confers insuperable difficulties is not satisfying as far as Australian people are concerned. [More…]
In the matter of dual nationality the present Government has never regarded it as insuperable that there should be 2 nations, each claiming that a certain person was its citizen. [More…]
The previous Government never protested at Yugoslavia’s assertion of dual nationality in respect of Australian naturalised citizens of Yugoslavian birth. [More…]
because of the limitations imposed by the problem of dual nationality, and since, in Mr Grskovic’s case, there is no evidence that he has been denied the normal protection of Yugoslav law, I feel that the Australian Government would be on weak ground in registering a formal protest. [More…]
My Government is not deterred by the technicalities of dual nationality. [More…]

For the same reasons the Opposition would like to see a continuation of the preferential treatment afforded to British subjects in relation to the proposal that an oath or affirmation of allegiance be taken by all except children under the age of 16 years, regardless of their former nationality. [More…]
We have the right to assume that because of their British nationality British subjects already are loyal subjects in the terms of the existing legislation and, therefore, swearing a separate oath on arrival in Australia is superfluous. [More…]
The fourth concerns dual nationality. [More…]
From the Australian perspective it is not possible to retain Australian nationality after having voluntarily acquired, except by way of marriage, citizenship or nationality in another country. [More…]
An Australian citizen of full age and of full capacity, who, whilst outside Australia and New Guinea, by some voluntary and formal act, other than marriage, acquires the nationality or citizenship of a country other than Australia, shall thereupon cease to be an Australian citizen. [More…]
The fact of having embraced another nationality in no way abrogates Yugoslav citizenship. [More…]
Determination of nationality is primarily a matter for each individual nation. [More…]
There are, however, certain multilateral treaties in existence which regulate aspects of the law relating to nationality. [More…]
For example, there is a 1930 League of Nations treaty dealing with aspects of military obligations in the case of persons with double nationality. [More…]
There is another 1930 League treaty which addresses certain questions relating to the conflict of nationality laws, but that treaty begins with the words: [More…]
Since this treaty there has been no multilateral treaty which has significantly rationalised the international position on nationality. [More…]
The Australian Government is able to conduct negotiations with all those nations whose laws on nationality work to the disadvantage of Australian citizens. [More…]
Article 1 of the convention dealing with the complex problem of dual nationality states: [More…]
What both countries require is for the citizen seeking a new nationality to renounce his previous citizenship. [More…]
It is made all the more meaningless by the fact that dual nationality exists in some countries and that the country of origin sees fit not to recognise a renunciation. [More…]

It is something which can be changed only by the laws of the countries which at present recognise dual nationality. [More…]
That Bill specifically provided that an Australian, when asked to state his nationality, had only to say: ‘I am an Australian citizen’. [More…]
At a time when we are endeavouring - I understand from the statement by the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) in this chamber that this is so - to establish with more certainty what dual nationality means, we believe that it would be foolish to eliminate a requirement that a new citizen in swearing his oath of allegiance should not first renounce his old allegience. [More…]
It is important that we in no way restrict or contain what must be to all Australians the very worthwhile characteristics of Australian nationality. [More…]
We are talking about the pure formality of renouncing an allegiance in order to elevate the whole quality of Australian nationality. [More…]
No doubt in our negotiations with other countries to remove the concept, and sometimes the burden, of dual citizenship from those who take Australian nationality we will be putting this point and I hope that in the negotiations the Minister, who should have learned a lesson from the tragic events in Yugoslavia, will put this point strongly and it will help him in those negotiations if he can say that Australian citizens have personally renounced. [More…]
This is important because some people regard their dual nationality as an advantage, and some regard it as a burden. [More…]
This is not a question of maintaining Australian nationality. [More…]
It may be in the interests of Australia’s survival not to forgo our own concept of nationality but to maintain the links which will give us defence protection, evidence of which in the eyes of the world may protect us from attack, because these outward signs may give to countries which might have aggressive intentions against us the lively apprehension that we would have powerful friends, powerful kinsmen, to come to our aid. [More…]
But prior to the suspension of the sitting he did say that the Yugoslav authorities did not require their citizens to renounce their allegiance when they acquire a new nationality. [More…]

If certain people are denied the opportunity of joining the work force because of some reason associated with religion, politics, race, sex, nationality or any other factor like that, productivity must suffer because fewer people than the number otherwise employed are working in the work force. [More…]
This convention is a declaration of intent, a declaration of a government’s policy, in this case in respect to discrimination on grounds of politics, religion, race, nationality or sex in employment or in employment opportunities. [More…]
The pleasing thing I am able to say is that the Government is going to set the first example by cutting through all forms of discrimination that are based upon a person’s politics, religion, sex, race or nationality. [More…]
When I announce the membership of the various committees the House will recognise that the Government is practising what it preaches because the people who have been chosen to sit on the various committees will be people of outstanding competence and ability whose politics, religion, race or nationality will be outside the popular ones. [More…]
They will be appointed because this Convention gives effect to a policy of no discrimination on the grounds of politics, race, religion, nationality or sex. [More…]
The Yugoslav authorities consequently contend that, in accordance with the principle of ‘master nationality’, there was no obligation for them to advise the Australian Government [More…]
Again, all of these cases involve the problem of ‘dual nationality’ and the Yugoslav authorities have contended that the Australian representatives cannot claim a right to the information or access to the persons concerned. [More…]

[More…]
In the second place, loss of original nationality results automatically from naturalisation in the case of persons who were originally nationals of countries such as the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Austria. [More…]
I refer to the problems of dual nationality which have arisen in relation to Yugoslavia and Greece in particular. [More…]
The Opposition might be prepared to look at this matter again if the Minister can come back to us and state that he has solved the problems of dual nationality, especially with Yugoslavia, a particular friend of this Government. [More…]
It was said that the Minister would use his undoubted - as he would believe - persuasive abilities in order to persuade certain countries where there are real problems of dual nationality, notably the Government’s new-found friends in Yugoslavia, to overcome the problems which dual nationality causes a significant number of Australian citizens. [More…]
It is a change to the provisions of the Principal Acts of 1966 relating to restrictions upon surrender of a fugitive where he could be prejudiced on account of race, religion, nationality or political opinions. [More…]
However, there remains an essential need for international travellers generally to be able to identify themselves and to establish their nationality by producing a valid travel document and in Australia’s case I believe our best interests arc currently served by retaining the visa requirement except for direct transit traffic. [More…]
These are: -Firstly, the right of all Australian enterprises to obtain funds in the most efficient manner having regard to associated technological, marketing, financial and other benefits; secondly, the right of individual investors of any nationality to buy or sell shares freely, thus ensuring the widest possible scope and flexibility for the Australian capital market; thirdly, the right of Australians to invest funds abroad in order to avoid insulation of our equity markets from world trends; and fourthly the establishment of guidelines for all multi-national companies domiciled in Australia, embodying Australians to comprise a majority of the senior management and the board of directors; the encouragement of all such companies of a major size to list publicly on the Australian stock exchanges, restrictive export franchises to be discouraged, and the policies of such companies not to be detrimental to Australia’s national goals. [More…]
The difficulty in this case is the difficulty in so many cases, a difficulty of dual nationality which I might describe as one of the curses of citizenship throughout the world. [More…]
I would hope that we would make considerable progress in future not only in this case but in all cases in which families find themselves in this sort of situation as a result of dual nationality. [More…]
For instance, the Government in Peking long ago disowned the jus sanguinis the dual nationality doctrine. [More…]

Clause IS simplifies the giving of evidence of certain matters by empowering the Minister, the Secretary or a delegated person to give certificates of nationality of a boat, the juridical status of an area of waters, whether a licence was or was not held at the time of an offence or whether a licence was issued subject to conditions.

If we can be so irrational about a different mode of behaviour by a few individuals who are of the same ethnic group, the same religion, the same economic strata, and speaking the same language, is it any wonder that the reaction is so much stronger if those individuals or that group is of a different colour, a different culture, a different nationality, very often speaking a different language?

by leave- On 14 October 1976 the honourable member for Prospect (Dr Klugman) presented to the House on behalf of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence the Committee’s report on The International Legal and Diplomatic Aspects of the Situation of Australians Possessing Dual or Plural Nationality’. [More…]
The report of the Joint Committee was presented on a realistic note by the honourable member with the comment that the problems of dual nationality are well nigh impossible of unilateral resolution by Australia. [More…]
The difficulties that arise for Australian citizens from their dual nationality are however of continuing concern to the Government. [More…]
The House will recall that in my statement of 26 May 1 978 on consular services I dealt with the problems of dual nationality. [More…]
This booklet contains information and advice on the problem of dual nationality. [More…]
The long-standing policy of the Australian Government of avoiding wherever possible the creation by its legislation of instances of dual nationality, while at the same time giving recognition to such status wherever it occurs, has been reaffirmed. [More…]

The Government also proposes to examine further the possibility of having the question of dual nationality examined in an appropriate forum of the United Nations. [More…]
While speaking about this question of dual nationality I should mention that the Government is keenly aware of the concern felt by certain Australian citizens about the new Soviet law on citizenship which came into force on 1 July this year. [More…]
If other countries are anxious to have us take their citizens- as many countries are because they are anxious to get the financial exchange which in many cases is remitted to them- it seems to be an appropriate time to suggest that those countries might enter into a bilateral arrangement whereby a citizen, on acceptance of nationality in Australia, is no longer obliged to be a dual national. [More…]
Honourable members will notice that it is an accepted principle of international law that diplomatic protection may not be given by a state to a dual national of that state when he is in the country of the other nationality. [More…]
Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence that the Hague Convention was of the opinion that a person should have only one nationality. [More…]
Obviously it would be the nationality of the resident’s permanent domicile. [More…]
It would seem appropriate that we should be using some of our monetary muscle to indicate clearly to these countries that when citizens leave them and come to Australia, by a bilateral arrangement which we should negotiate at the time, and if they adopt our citizenship, they should be accepted by other countries as having one nationality only, namely, that of Australia. [More…]
An example of a multipartite agreement to which the Committee made reference is the 1963 Council of Europe Convention on Reduction of Cases of Multiple Nationality and Military Obligations in Cases of Multiple Nationality. [More…]
This Convention comprises two substantive chaptersChapter I concerns reduction of cases of multiple nationality and Chapter II concerns military obligations. [More…]
Unlike the Conventions concluded between the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, which require only that a person seek the consent of the State in which he is not resident but whose nationality he wishes to retain, Chapter II of the Council of Europe Convention requires that a person seek the consent of the State whose nationality he wishes to renounce. [More…]
Such consent may not, however, be withheld if the person has not been a resident of that State for ten years and is at the time ordinarily resident in the State whose nationality he wishes to retain. [More…]
The Government is considering the desirability of Australia doing so, although it should be noted that the countries with which Australia encounters most difficulties over dual nationality are not parties to the Convention. [More…]
He said: the effectiveness of a patent system is in no way dependent upon the territorial origin of an invention or the nationality of a patentee and that those factors are essentially irrelevant to the operation of a patent system. [More…]
Firstly, there is his view that the effectiveness of a patent system is independent of the nationality of the patentee. [More…]
All of these considerations should lay to rest once and for all the Minister’s apparent view- and I am only taking this view from the comments in his second reading speech- that the effectiveness of our patent system is independent of the nationality of the patentee. [More…]
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is unique among the major powers in that the Soviet Union’s dominant nationality is portentially outnumbered. [More…]
The requirement for Soviet citizens to show ‘nationality ‘ under its internal passport system and on all official forms ensures the Soviet officials the opportunity to identify and then destroy national groups within Soviets outside Russia. [More…]
I make one point in relation to human rights in the Soviet Union and in relation to the nationality question: I do not necessarily support nationalistic claims, whether they be by people who originated in the Baltic States or in the Ukraine, those of Jews and so on and tend to oppose nationalism. [More…]
If people had democratic freedoms, the nationality questions would be resolved in a democratic manner inside the United Soviet Socialist Republics. [More…]
Registration is basically to establish nationality and grant flag rights, however, I would point out that the critical factors are not the conditions of registry but rather the subsequent control of seaworthiness, safety and manning aspects exercised by ‘open registry ‘ countries. [More…]
As there is no nationality or residence test, an Australian citizen resident in Australia who meets these criteria would be eligible to receive such a pension. [More…]
