Because of our attitude on dual nationality we were on the point of taking this matter up with the Greek Government in respect of Australian citizens of Greek origin but the Government in Greece changed and I understand that the exit points which were closed are now open and there is no difficulty in Greek/Australians leaving Greece. [More…]
Unemployment figures in respect of refugees who arrived in 1974 and are now in the community are not available, but among those residing in hostels throughout Australia on 4.8.75 there were 27 breadwinners of Chilean nationality both refugees and non-refugees not in employment. [More…]

I suggest that the goodwill engendered by the tremendous amount of money we are spending in bringing people to this country will largely be offset by the poor reputation we will give Australia in the minds of thinking people in every part of the world, of whatever race or whatever nationality. [More…]

and (c) The Annual Return to Parliament of persons granted Australian citizenship during 1970-71 by virtue of the grant of certificates of citizenship under Sections 15 and 12 of the Citizenship Act, 1948-1969, provides both a breakdown on a nationality basis of the 27,343 persons naturalised, and the countries of origin of the 7,750 persons who were registered as Australian citizens.

Before referring to the particular trend of the honourable senator’s question I think I should say that this morning I was provided with a note as to the obligations of Greek nationals for military service insofar as those obligations apply to people of dual nationality. [More…]
Other countries which require military service by Australian citizens who hold dual nationality include France and Italy. [More…]
Mr Mathas problem, as I have seen it reported, arises from the fact that apparently some form of dual nationality occurs when a Creek citizen becomes an Australian citizen. [More…]

By way of preface to my question, addressed to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, I refer to a letter from the Minister for Immigration in which the concluding paragraph mentions further action to assist people whose country of their birth claims dual nationality. [More…]
I think that officers of the Department of Immigration should advise migrants from countries such as Greece that have compulsory military service that irrespective of whether they are naturalised in Australia they retain their former nationality and on returning to their former country, irrespective of how long they had been away from it, will be required to undergo military training. [More…]
I believe that we have to accept that in far more positive ways we have to bring home to migrants to this country, who may retain dual nationality according to the laws of the country from which they have come, the fact that they may have obligations and be subjected to all types of privation if they go back to those countries. [More…]
We are going to give away your nationality and give you to Papua New Guinea.’ [More…]
Do not take away their islands; do not take away their nationality. [More…]
Mr Menzies gave a little lecture on Balkan history and stated that police ‘had found no evidence whatever to support allegations of Ustashi violence towards individuals of Yugoslav nationality’. [More…]
I use the expression ‘physical persecution’ in the sense in which it has been interpreted in section 243 (h) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act of 19S2 under which the AttorneyGeneral of the United States of America is autho rised to withhold deportation of an alien to any country in which, in his opinion, he would be subject to physical persecution. [More…]
Secondly, the Acts provide that the Attorney-General should not issue a warrant for the return of a fugitive if he has substantial grounds for believing that, if the fugitive is surrendered to the requesting country, ‘he may be prejudiced at his trial, or punished, detained or restricted in his personal liberty by reason of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions’. [More…]
As the Minister for Immigration is reported to have stated during the week-end that he had under consideration the deportation of about 50 people, will the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration inform the Senate of the nationality of these people and the reasons for considering their deportation? [More…]
I am not aware of the nationality of the people who are involved nor pf the breaches of the law which they might have committed and which would warrant the Minister giving consideration to their deportation. [More…]
The challenge has been issued - I issue it again - if he has evidence which will stand in court he should prosecute the people accused of violence, whether they are Croats or people of any other nationality. [More…]
the requisition for the surrender of the fugitive, although purporting to have been made in respect of an offence for which, but for this section, he would be liable to be surrendered to that state, was made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing him on account of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions; or [More…]
if the fugitive ls surrendered to that state, he may be prejudiced at his trial, or punished, detained or restricted In his personal liberty, by reason of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions. [More…]
Prior to that, in respect of any of the new treaties with which we are dealing, insofar as we are changing or extending the law there would be a prior onus - if one likes to call it that - on the Attorney-General that he is not to give a notice - that is, not to set the process in train - or even to bring the person before a magistrate if there are ‘substantial grounds for believing’ that in effect, as Senator McManus is putting it, the person is being dealt with because of his political opinions, race, religion or nationality. [More…]
The issue of dual nationality - it is not necessarily new - has been with us for some time. [More…]
I understand that there was some division of opinion in the previous Government on the question of dual nationality. [More…]
What the Minister for Foreign Affairs did was to say that this administration ought to have been informed of the position because the persons had dual nationality. [More…]
In view of relations with Yugoslavia, can we have an assurance that any discussions on the subject of dual nationality will include Greece, mindful of misunderstandings that occur in . [More…]
The question of dual nationality has been underlined’ by the incidents in Yugoslavia. [More…]
Does the honourable senator suggest that if President Nixon or Mr Heath came here we should ask them what they had done or will do with people who are Australian nationals or people who have dual nationality? [More…]
the problems and perils created for members of the Australian migrant community by the concept of dual nationality and appropriate measures which may be taken to eliminate them. [More…]
What are the problems caused by dual nationality? [More…]
What are the processes involved in an Australian citizen renouncing his Yugoslav nationality? [More…]
(d) deals with the dual nationality problem. [More…]
They renounced their Yugoslav nationality when they came here. [More…]
Yugoslav Government rests on the Hague Convention, and we are still insisting that if accusations are made against people with dual nationality, in whom we believe we have some interest, we be informed so that we can extend to them our diplomatic privileges. [More…]
On this vexed question of dual nationality we are even going to ask a parliamentary committee in this place to see whether it can be of any assistance to this Government and future governments. [More…]
, (9), (10) Australian representatives in Belgrade had not formally sought from the Yugoslav authorities information about the fate of those who were naturalised Australians because of advice from the Yugoslav Government that the group had been ‘destroyed’ and because of repeated indications that the Yugoslav Government applies the principle of master nationality and would not recognise the standing of Australian authorities to make Consular representations on behalf of such persons. [More…]
the problems and perils created for members of the Australian migrant community by the concept of dual nationality and appropriate measures which may be taken to eliminate them. [More…]
Wherever they were born, whatever their nationality, whatever the colour of their complexion, they should all be able to become Australian citizens under just the same conditions. [More…]
Likewise the Bill provides that the oath or affirmation of allegiance shall be taken by all, except children under 16, regardless of former nationality. [More…]
Australian citizens have, however, the additional right and description of possessing the common nationality of the Commonwealth of Nations, called in some [More…]
We have referred the whole vexed question of dual nationality to this Parliament for advice. [More…]
The problems and perils created for members of the Australian migrant community by the concept of dual nationality and appropriate measures which may be taken to eliminate them. [More…]
In other words, we adverted to the fact that although migrants may obtain Australian citizenship, if they have come from certain countries they still retain the nationality and citizenship of that country. [More…]
The Senate has indicated that it is particularly concerned and remains concerned about the existence of dual nationality. [More…]
Only a few years ago we were of British nationality. [More…]
That is in the past but circumstances involving dual nationality are still under dis cussion, as is discrimination regarding deportation which is being eliminated by this measure. [More…]
The Yugoslav Government has agreed to assist with the development of a working arrangement, regardless of the technicalities relating to dual nationality. [More…]
My question, addressed to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration, refers to the vexed subject of dual nationality. [More…]
Will the Minister consider preparing a series of statements in the various languages and, where a naturalised Australian citizen seeks to return to a homeland which does not necessarily recognise Australian naturalisation, arrange for that person to be handed a statement indicating the position in regard to the country he proposes to visit, making it clear to him that his Australian nationality does not necessarily guarantee that he will be allowed to return to this country? [More…]
As all honourable senators know, Australian citizens cannot retain Australian nationality after they have voluntarily acquired citizenship or nationality in another country. [More…]
It seems to me that by deleting the section of the Act relating to renunciation of a migrant’s previous nationality, this Bill will give to those people most of the rights of Australian citizenship without p’acing on them the responsibilities of that citizenship. [More…]
In regard to the aspect of this legislation which relates to a person having to renounce his previous nationality, even though we are deleting in full the provisions in the Act we are not pioneers in this respect. [More…]
Nationality is declared by a nation itself. [More…]
The matter of dual nationality is a complex one, as events of recent days have shown. [More…]
While on the subject may I say that it is and has been over the years, a matter of great interest how this question of dual nationality should operate in practice. [More…]
It should not be forgotten by the Senate when it looks at this issue of dual nationality that there are literally tens of thousands of such dual citizens in Australia. [More…]
In the course of this year there would be at least hundreds and perhaps over the years there have been many thousands of citizens of dual nationality - say Yugoslav and Australian - who have appeared in the Australian courts on all sorts of charges; some may be minor, some extremely serious and some of the utmost importance. [More…]
That would apply to foreign born citizens with dual nationality in Australia who are charged with offences. [More…]
I do know that the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs has already indicated in this chamber that certain information has been sought about events in Yugoslavia concerning Australian citizens who may be of Yugoslav nationality. [More…]
It may well be, of course, that the crime of treason stands today at the peak of the hierarchy of offences, that is, in the concept of our regard for nationality, our nation and the protection of iS security. [More…]
Despite the fact that you and your son have been naturalised there are nationality requirements for entry which your son does not possess. [More…]
We in this country have good reason to appreciate the problems which dual nationality involves. [More…]
Of course dual nationality is something which an act of renunciation on the part of a person taking out Australian citizenship will not in any way overcome. [More…]
If Italy, Greece or Yugoslavia- to mention 3 countries in relation to which dual nationality problems have arisenasserts a claim or seeks to exact an obligation from one of the native born citizens of those countries then the fact that those persons have become Australian citizens and have formally renounced the citizenship of their country of birth will not persuade those countries to take any other attitude. [More…]
I hope that we can move towards a situation where there will be an end to dual nationality and a general acceptance of one nationality and procedures whereby if there is doubt as to a person ‘s nationality there will be a means under international law to determine the actual nationality of that person. [More…]
Over the centuries there have been 2 broad schools of thought with regard to this concept of dual nationality. [More…]
One is the doctrine of dominant or effective nationality. [More…]
That doctrine is established by examining the habitual residence of a person whose nationality is in question and examining his conduct and activities with a view to determining the country with which he has the closest connection so that you can determine what is his effective, dominant or master nationality. [More…]
On that basis it is to the country of his dominant nationality that he owes obligations and it is the country of his dominant nationality which may assert its role in international affairs to protect that person if he needs state protection. [More…]
This is a feasible means whereby a person’s nationality can be determined and it obviates the problems which dual nationality creates. [More…]
It is a problem which is at the very root of the problems of dual nationality which, unfortunately, an increasing number of Australian citizens have been experiencing in recent times. [More…]
It is generally not known that Australia is a party to an international convention on dual nationality. [More…]
The international convention of 1930 on certain questions relating to the conflict of nationality laws is a convention to which Australia adhered in 1937. [More…]
After all, article 4 of this convention states in broad terms that a State may not afford diplomatic protection to one of its nationals against a State whose nationality such a person also possesses. [More…]
Under these circumstances, the return to the theory of dominant nationality appears quite justified. [More…]
I believe that what we should endeavour to sustain is the concept of the one nationality. [More…]
By the individual’s act he should accept the nationality of one country and positively abdure any allegiance to any other country. [More…]
It is a fundamental first step to the acceptance of an Australian nationality. [More…]
Let us get rid of the concepts of dual nationality. [More…]
For those reasons, although the reasoning may be tenuous, I believe that we should retain the provision renouncing previous allegiance as part of our oath of allegiance which people take as one step towards establishing what I believe is wholly desirable, namely, the traditional concept of a permanent, effective, master nationality. [More…]
I wish to comment firstly on the subject of dual nationality, which was a matter to which Senator Greenwood referred. [More…]
I remind the honourable senator that the problem of dual nationality is at present the subject of examination by the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence, which is, of course, a committee of this Parliament. [More…]
-The subject of dual nationality could well be one of the terms of references of the Senate Select Committee on the Civil Rights of Migrant Australians. [More…]
Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the USSR) do not recognise loss of nationality by mere renunciation; specific permission to relinquish the original nationality is required, and the ‘renunciation’ under Australian procedures, is in their view, of no effect whatsoever. [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, Norway and Sweden. [More…]
In order to keep us from hearing the views of anybody else, the Government has asked us to inquire into the question of dual nationality. [More…]
Both of these questions- Omega and dual nationality- are jobs for small expert committees. [More…]
Those matters include the investigation of the foreign affairs and defence implications of an Omega station in Australia and the question of dual nationality. [More…]
I am surprised that Senator McManus should object to the reference on dual nationality because the Committee that is humourously described as the Senate Select Committee on the Civil Rights of Migrant Australians was supposed to report on dual nationality, among all its other problems. [More…]
One would have thought that it was rather late for the Leader of the Democratic Labor Party, Senator McManus, to be complaining about any parliamentary committee inquiring into dual nationality. [More…]
When it was suggested at the last meeting of the Committee that, as all the evidence on the Omega station had been heard, there should be a deferment of hearing the first evidence on the question of dual nationality so that some witnesses could be heard on matters of a more general nature, this suggestion was agreed to by the Chairman and by all the Labor Party members of the Committee who were present at that meeting. [More…]
Clause 13 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. [More…]
In all cases are such fishing vessels apprehended, irrespective of their nationality? [More…]
As far as I am aware this would be done irrespective of nationality when intrusion was in breach of our laws and was not acceptable to Australia. [More…]
Whether the matter of dual nationality can be taken out of context like that, I am not sure. [More…]
We have discussed the whole matter of dual nationality in this chamber on several occasions. [More…]
The passenger’s nationality has no bearing whatsoever on the currency they may use to purchase air travel. [More…]
Citizens of some countries and some citizens with dual nationality, risk losing their foreign nationality by taking the oath or affirmation of allegiance. [More…]
That Declaration includes the provision that everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country, and that no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality. [More…]
-This involves the vexed question of dual nationality. [More…]
Where there is a problem of dual nationality- whether it be with, say Greece or some other country- in general the essence of the problem is that each country claims that the person concerned is its national, and when that person is in either of the countries involved that country, in effect, claims dominion over him and also claims his allegiance and so forth. [More…]
Nor can a person be surrendered if he were to be prejudiced at his trial on account of race, religion, nationality or political opinion. [More…]
However, I point out that the present Bill makes an additional provision to that now included in the Australian Film Development Corporation Act for the new Commission to take into account not only the residence but also the nationality of persons taking part in the making of a film. [More…]
But if an American citizen does so he loses his United States nationality. [More…]
Such an oath, in the case of many countries, will cause a migrant to lose his nationality before he has ours. [More…]
Apparently practical difficulties are caused to some people whom we might want to be officers of the Public Service and who happen to have another nationality. [More…]
What is happening is that commonsense and the necessities of life are getting us to rely upon the specific provisions, specific offences, and specific obligations, instead of these vague kinds of oaths which cause difficulty to those who may have another nationality. [More…]
This definition will apply generally and has the effect, subject to subsequent clauses, of extending the scope of the Act to permit regulation of all foreign fishing in the declared fishing zone, regardless of its purpose or of the nationality of the foreign boat concerned. [More…]
For example, the question of dual nationality is involved in section 44 (i) which prevents anyone who is a citizen of a foreign power being elected. [More…]
This group says that under the Commonwealth Racial Discrimination Bill and Human Rights Bill and the Victorian Avoidance of Discrimination Bill a person who chooses to marry his or her race, ethnic group, nationality, or religion, and not to marry a person of another race, ethnic group, nationality or religion, does an act involving a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on colour, descent, national or ethnic origin or religion can be prosecuted and could happen under the Racial Discrimination Bill. [More…]
This especially applies if people are of a different nationality, of a different ethnic origin or even of a different skin colour. [More…]
One of the documents I have in front of me talks about a new tribe of racial officials, who will be racial police, being set up, who need not be members of the Public Service, or of Australian nationality. [More…]
Under the clause as it stands it is immaterial that the reason of race, colour, nationality or ethnic origin is not the dominant reason. [More…]
Living in a remote continent without land frontiers, more isolated from realities on the rest of the plane than most other peoples, we are the Incas and the Aztecs of the 20th century, predictably ignorant of the significance of nationality problems. [More…]
He would remember the difficulties he had, including difficulties with other Ministers in the then Government, about this very vexed question of people with dual nationality. [More…]
The situation is that the acquisition of another nationality by a person with Yugoslav citizenship is not recognised under Yugoslav law unless that person formally renounces his Yugoslav citizenship and the renunciation has been formally accepted by the Yugoslav Government. [More…]
The view of the Yugoslav authorities is that it is a principle of international law, reaffirmed in article 4 of the 1930 Hague convention on certain questions relating to the conflict of nationality laws, that a State may not afford diplomatic protection to one of its nationals against a State whose nationality such a person also possesses. [More…]
In such circumstances the ability of Australian official representatives to assist an Australian citizen who has Yugoslav nationality is limited if he commits an offence under Yugoslav law. [More…]
I am not aware of how many people of either Australian or dual nationality are imprisoned in Yugoslavia and whether charges have related to their membership of soccer clubs. [More…]
It refers to the urgent desire of South Vietnamese students and others of that nationality in Australia to obtain permanent residence for themselves and their close relatives. [More…]
When an Australian citizen, whether he be of dual nationality or a purely Australian citizen, suffers the rigours of the law, people immediately come to my office and say that he ought to be let off, that he is perfectly innocent, before they have looked at the evidence or anything else. [More…]
Secondly, it is quite untrue and unfair to say that for some unknown reason, because a person is a Yugoslav, because he is of dual nationality, we are not interested in him. [More…]
Certainly I think they understand the problems of nationality and citizenship. [More…]
We took the opportunity also to adjust some provisions with regard to nationality qualifications to give effect to certain children with alien fathers who were excluded from eligibility for child endowment. [More…]
children of alien fathers will no longer be disqualified on nationality grounds; [More…]
The present immigration policy is non-discriminatory and applies equally to all applicants or nominees irrespective of nationality. [More…]
Having learned of the unjust and harsh incarceration in Vladimir prison by the Soviet Authorities of a prisoner of conscience of Latvian nationality Gunars Rode, we the undersigned Australian citizens respectfully petition the Australian Senate and through it the Australian Government to use all its diplomatic resources and influence to secure the release of the said prisoner of conscience in order that he may enjoy the human rights as set out in the United Nations Charter, and as agreed to by all signatories of the European Security and Co-operation Conference in Helsinki. [More…]
They are aware, of course, as we all are, that under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights obligations are imposed upon the Soviet Union to carry out and to enforce rights of freedomrights of freedom of movement, rights to leave the country, rights to have a nationality and many other rights. [More…]
Further, both Acts forbid extradition where there are substantial grounds for believing that the alleged offender might be prejudiced at his trial in the foreign state by reason of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions. [More…]
That discrimination is being exercised by the Australian Parliament in the negation and non-recognition of Croatian nationality. [More…]
That discrimination is being exercised by the Australian Parliament in the negation and non-recognition of Croatian nationality. [More…]

Having learned of the unjust and harsh incarceration in Vladimir prison by the Soviet Authorities of a prisoner of conscience of Latvian nationality Gunars Rode, we the undersigned Australian citizens respectfully petition the Australian Senate and through it the Australian Government to use all its diplomatic resources and influence to secure the release of the said prisoner of conscience in order that he may enjoy the human rights as set out in the United Nations Charter, and as agreed to by all signatories of the European Security and Co-operation Conference in Helsinki.

The first requires that Australian consular officers perform functions including the following: notarial acts, oaths, affirmations and declarations such as the authentication or legislation of various documents, form wills and contracts to school certificates and driving licenses; the issue and renewal of passports and visas; the solemnisation and registration of marriages; payment of or advice on social security provisions including medical benefits; advice on the importation and registration of motor vehicles; advice on acquisition or loss of citizenship, particularly on dual nationality problems; provision of information on Australian Customs’ requirements; the provision of facilities for voting in Australian elections overseas; the administration of regulations arising from the Navigation Act in regard to seamen; liaison with overseas legal authorities on instructions from Australia to arrange extradition; advice on exchange control and currency matters for personal or investment purposes; serving of writs and taking evidence; advising visitors to Australia of health and quarantine requirements and reporting on outbreaks of disease in foreign countries.

There has been a great deal of discussion about related problems concerning the Croatian community, dual nationality and so forth. [More…]
One specific problem to which I might refer is that which arises from dual nationality. [More…]
Are any overtones of dual nationality involved? [More…]
It may at first sight seem surprising that despite the passing of the Statute of Westminster, 193 1, and the creation of separate Australian citizenship by the British Nationality Act 1948 (Imp.) [More…]
For example, a person of Greek, Italian, German or any other nationality, should be prohibited from purchasing land or property in Queensland if the logic of this argument were followed through to its conclusion. [More…]
Syria has imposed travel restrictions which prohibit either entry or transit to persons holding Israeli passports, to holders of passports containing a declaration that the passport is valid for Israel and/or a visa for Israel, whether valid or expired, and to passengers of Jewish faith of any nationality. [More…]
Syria, by government decree, has placed a ban on any person of Jewish faith, of any nationality. [More…]
It must be understood that the ban on anybody entering Syria applies not only to people of the Israeli nation bearing an Israeli passport but also to people of the Jewish faith of any nationality. [More…]
Surely we cannot accept a situation in which Australians are vetted as to their acceptability and banned by other nations on the basis of their previous nationality or present religious beliefs. [More…]
It is true that Syria has imposed travel restrictions which prohibit either entry or transit to persons holding Israeli passports, to holders of passports containing a declaration that the passport is valid for Israel and/or a visa for Israel, whether valid or expired, and for passengers of Jewish faith of any nationality. [More…]
One should not be surprised that a travel agent in England would say to a passenger: ‘If you are going to Syria and if any of these restrictions apply to you- if you hold an Israeli passport or a passport containing a declaration that that passport is valid for Israel, if you hold a visa for Israel, whether valid or expired, or if you are of the Jewish faith of any nationality- Syrian law says that you are prohibited’. [More…]
Jordan has similar restrictions except that the proscription in respect of Jewish passengers reads: ‘Jewish passengers irrespective of nationality’. [More…]
A report in today’s Melbourne Age says: the Syrian Government had been refusing entry and transit facilities to Israeli citizens and Jews of any nationality for some time. [More…]
I think, as other honourable senators have told us, the arrangements include an agreement to Syria’s demand that passengers of the Jewish faith of any nationality shall not be able to land in Syria. [More…]
I agree with Senator Wheeldon; there is nothing wrong, if Syria is at war with Israel, with it excluding people of the Israeli nationality as part of that state of war but we are told that people of the Jewish faith should not be allowed to land in that country. [More…]
It constitutes a discrimination not only against religion, not only against race, but also against nationality- all three. [More…]
I think that distinction is important, because I understand that Israel refuses to permit into Israel people who hold passports from countries of the Arab League and that again reflects a state of conflict between those Arab countries and Israel, It emphasises the distinction between discriminating on the basis of nationality or citizenship- that is the passport- and discrimination clearly based on the faith or religion of the person concerned. [More…]
If it is found that there is no way to overcome this discrimination against Jewish people whether of Australian nationality or any other nationality it seems to me that Qantas ought to start examining alternative routes to avoid the discriminatory practice which has to a degree been forced upon it but which it has accepted by flying via Damascus. [More…]
In other words, persons who may have been Polish citizens at the time their property was nationalised have not been compensated under these treaties unless they also possessed at that time the nationality of one of those other countries. [More…]

That the Senate notes with concern the lack of action by the Australian Government to relieve Australian citizens of the disadvantages of dual nationality, particularly as experienced in visiting former homelands, and urges the Government speedily to implement the recommendations contained in the report of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence on dual nationality, tabled in the Senate on 14 October 1976. [More…]
On what nationality passport was he travelling. [More…]
It may at first sight seem surprising that despite the passing of the Statute of Westminster, 1931, and the creation of separate Australian citizenship by the British Nationality Act 1948 . [More…]
I do note the defence available in clause 7- that a person may not come within the terms of the Act if the offence with which he is charged is not an offence in the country of his nationality. [More…]
The whole history of” mankind shows that if people are oppressed, no matter their nationality, their colour or their religion, no matter where or when, eventually they will rise up and throw off their chains. [More…]

That the Senate notes with concern the lack of action by the Australian Government to relieve Australian citizens of the disadvantages of dual nationality, particularly as experienced in visiting former homelands, and urges the Government speedily to implement the recommendations contained in the Report of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence on Dual Nationality, tabled in the Senate on 14 October 1976. [More…]
Simply stated, that is the problem of dual nationality. [More…]
For some new citizens the retention of the former nationality may be beneficial for various reasons. [More…]
For example, it may be that an Australian citizen who migrated here from the United Kingdom would feel happy to retain dual nationality in that revisiting the United Kingdom would be much more simple. [More…]
Better employment opportunities may be available in the country of his former nationality if that former nationality is retained. [More…]
There are very many advantages which can accrue to certain persons retaining the nationality of their former homeland. [More…]
Whilst that would be the case for some, for very many dual nationality becomes a curse and a burden. [More…]
The fact is that for very many Australian citizens dual nationality is extremely serious and even fatal in one sense. [More…]
The Australian Government is precluded from offering consular protection to such an Australian citizen whilst in the other country of his dual nationality. [More…]
That Government even executed Australian citizens who held Yugoslav nationality. [More…]
Luckily, I think that incident is unique in the sense that to my knowledge executions without the Australian Government being informed have not occurred in any other nation of former nationality of any Australian citizens. [More…]
Mr Grassby, the then Minister for Immigration, spoke of dual nationality being ‘one of the curses of citizenship around the world’. [More…]
Those articles are only three of a very thick file of newspaper clippings which reveal that the problem of dual nationality is one which seriously affects Australian citizens when they return to their former homelands. [More…]
A person should hold only one nationality and be able to renounce in an appropriate way his former nationality. [More…]
The report from the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence, presented to this Parliament on 14 October 1976- two and a half years ago- recommended that Australia should initiate action within the United Nations to renew efforts to resolve nationality problems. [More…]
That is, international states- are more prepared to forego their discretion to determine the nationality of their citizens than they were in 1 954. [More…]
Both the Western European community, in the Council of Europe Convention in 1968, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, with bilateral arrangements with its Eastern European allies in the late and mid 1950s, have demonstrated considerable willingness to forego their claims on former nationals who wish to voluntarily renounce the nationality concerned. [More…]
The East European model followed by the USSR and its allies is roughly to assume that the sole nationality follows residence between the nations concerned. [More…]
In any case, one nationality is the desire and the end. [More…]
Is there any evidence that this Government is seeking to conclude like arrangements with the USSR or its Eastern European allies in respect to Australian citizens who could be expected not to exercise the choice of nationality of their former homeland? [More…]
A person needs to seek the consent of the state whose nationality he wishes to renounce. [More…]
Even so, the former homeland may not withhold consent if the person concerned has not been resident there for 10 years or more and is ordinarily resident in the state whose nationality he wishes to retain. [More…]
In respect of the Western European democracies, we have a perfectly accessible means of assuring that the problems of dual nationality do not attach to Australian citizens who come from those European democracies. [More…]
The time has long passed for pious declarations about the desirability of single Australian nationality for a citizen. [More…]
Clearly, it is impossible to substantiate the incidence or scale of such harassment- harassment that allegedly goes beyond access that consular officials of the country of the other nationality properly might have. [More…]
I cannot say whether his office would be the best means of sorting out these allegations of harassment, which possibly would be few in number; but clearly the Committee thought that the type of investigative and conciliatory approach which characterises the Office of the Commissioner for Community Relations is a type in which the aggrieved Australian citizen of dual nationality could have confidence. [More…]
In entering this debate on the motion regarding dual nationality. [More…]
I believe that the problem of dual nationality is a very complex one. [More…]
Incidentally, I think that the term ‘dual nationality’ is a misnomer and that it should be ‘dual citizenship’. [More…]
I support particularly the recommendation which confirms the Australian belief, the Government belief, that every person should have one nationality only, with the exception that I would refer to citizenship and not nationality. [More…]
I am very pleased that the discussions with the Yugoslav Government have resulted in this understanding of Australian citizens’ points of view and I am very hopeful that the discussions which will continue with the Yugoslav Government, relating to the question of dual nationality, will have a mutually acceptable result. [More…]
I refer to nationality versus citizenship. [More…]
From my point of view, and I would say from the points of view of the majority of Continental people, there is a big difference between nationality and citizenship. [More…]
As I understand the position, there cannot be a British national because I do not think that there is a British nationality as such. [More…]
I strongly believe that we should make a clear distinction when referring to nationality or citizenship. [More…]
Today maybe nationality would be better equated with ethnicity. [More…]
My nationality is Slovenian but I am an Australian citizen. [More…]
-I would say that nationality’ has a different connotation and a different meaning from ‘citizenship’. [More…]
Therefore nationality has nothing to do with the rights of a citizen as such. [More…]
I hope that the Government will take notice of the report’s recommendation in that regard and that it will take notice of the difference between the interpretation of the word ‘nationality’ and that of the word ‘citizenship’. [More…]
Since the early part of 1977 I have been in correspondence with the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr Peacock) about this question of dual nationality. [More…]
It related to the difficulties experienced by Australian citizens of Yugoslavian birth when they visited that country and the difficulties that they experienced in this country by reason of their dual nationality. [More…]
I think that is the point that Senator Lajovic stressed- the question of nationality and citizenship. [More…]
As a shorter term objective, high priority should be accorded to entering into bilateral agreements between Australia and those countries whose nationality laws cause Australian citizens to be dual nationals and who suffer disadvantage because of this circumstance. [More…]
The recommendation was for the Government to attempt to achieve a shorter term objective by establishing a high priority to be accorded to the making of bilateral arrangements between Australia and those countries whose nationality laws cause Australian citizens to be dual nationals. [More…]
The recommendation indicated that these negotiations should take place with those countries whose nationality laws cause Australian citizens to be dual nationals and who suffer disadvantage because of this circumstance. [More…]
I also have received correspondence from persons with dual BritishAustralian nationality who seek to retain that dual nationality. [More…]
Anyone who becomes a member of this Parliament very soon runs into the distress and difficulties caused to many citizens by this very real problem of dual nationality or, as Senator Lajovic would call it, dual citizenship. [More…]
We are all running into the problem of dual nationality in our work as parliamentarians. [More…]
I had reason this month to write to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Peacock, about the difficulties that Greek citizens face when they hold dual nationality. [More…]
As the Committee said in 1976, every person should have the one nationality or, as Senator Lajovic prefers it to be put, one citizenship only. [More…]
A number of people have expressed concern that their place of birth is shown in their passports, and the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence recommended in its 1 976 report on dual nationality that consideration be given to deleting ‘Place of Birth’ from Australian passports. [More…]
Was any attempt made, at the time the agreement was authorised, to acquaint the person whose authority was required, or was that person acquainted, with the Syrian regulations in relation to visas and, in particular, that any person of the Jewish faith of any nationality was not permitted through Syrian air space on any flight, or to be in a plane which landed in Syria. [More…]
10) (a) As a service to passengers Qantas reservations staff were instructed to inform intending passengers of the Jewish faith that Syrian regulations were understood to refuse entry in transit to persons holding Israeli passports, Jewish passengers of any nationality and holders of passports valid for Israel or containing a visa for Israel. [More…]
If honourable senators look at the list of organisations to which flags are to be issued, they will see that these organisations very properly might acknowledge some sense of nationality and use a flag in a way that all senators and members would think appropriate. [More…]
The definition of a refugee under international convention and protocol specifies that refugees are persons outside their country of nationality or usual residence. [More…]
White Australia policy is long dead, that our immigration policy today is totally nondiscriminatory and is applied consistently to all applicants regardless of race, colour, nationality, descent, national or ethnic origin and sex. [More…]
Had he been of some other nationality, such as British or South African, maybe he would not have been sent back. [More…]
I have again reviewed this case but I am satisfied the decision to refuse Mr Grekos a visit visa was reasonably based on policy and there was no discrimination based on race or nationality. [More…]
Artists to whom the local content rule is applied should be either of Australian nationality or currently resident in Australia. [More…]
In the meantime, I repeat the advice given by the Minister for Foreign Affairs in his statement to the Parliament in May last year that the problems of dual nationality cannot be overcome by citizens simply asserting that they do not accept their other citizenship and that it is for the individual to ascertain in advance the consequences of coming within the jurisdiction of another country which claims his or her citizenship. [More…]
The child shall bc entitled from his birth to a name and a nationality. [More…]
The child shall be entitled from his birth to a name and a nationality. [More…]
Who are the children around the world without the protection of any government, effectively without any nationality, with no government willing to offer them protection and security- the ones most in need, having first claim to receive protection and relief? [More…]
The main reason why I quoted from the roneoed document which was sent to all senators and which was the property of all senators was to support the argument, which I think is supported by all honourable senators, that no disadvantages should be incurred by Australian citizens by reason of dual nationality. [More…]
The Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence recommended in its 1976 report on dual nationality that consideration be given to deleting this requirement. [More…]
The Ministers said the prevention of child removal was a complex matter involving questions of jurisdiction, dual nationality, citizenship, freedom of travel and rights of the child. [More…]
Whilst a passport is in no sense an exit visa, and it is not necessary for an Australian to have a passport in order to leave Australia, it is effectively an entry visa from the point of view of the receiving country, which requires a passport as identification of the person concerned and of his or her nationality. [More…]
It seems to me that a passport is evidence of personal identity and nationality. [More…]
If I am an Australian citizen, surely, on the payment of a reasonable fee for the preparation of the documentation, I ought to be in possession of my own passport as proof of who 1 am and of my nationality. [More…]
This is so linked to my basic human right to move around freely that, as an extension of that right, the passport evidencing my nationality ought to be my own property and not the property of the Commonwealth. [More…]
It has taken some three years for the Government to ponder the report on dual nationality from the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence. [More…]
The adoption of this suggestion might tend to avoid some difficulties encountered by dual nationals when visiting the country of their other nationality. [More…]
The Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence, in its report on dual nationality, looked at a problem that has been talked about today. [More…]
The adoption of this suggestion might tend to avoid some difficulties encountered by dual nationals when visiting the country of their other nationality. [More…]
Requests for removal of the place of birth from passports are recieved mainly from citizens born overseas who wish to avoid problems when returning to their countries of birth or other nationality or who wish to avoid identification with a nation or regime with which they are out of sympathy. [More…]
The recommendation in the report on dual nationality from the Joint Committee for Foreign Affairs and Defence that place of birth be deleted from Australian passports and be substituted by place of residence has been given a great deal of consideration by an interdepartmental committee and by the Government. [More…]
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 1978 on Consular Services I dealt with the problems of dual nationality. [More…]

There remain two recommendations of the report calling for constructive action: that Australia should initiate relevant action in the United Nations and should give high priority to negotiating bilateral agreements to overcome dual nationality problems. [More…]
Formidable difficulties of a political, legal and practical nature stand in the way of progress on dual nationality problems, either by way of bilateral or multilateral agreement. [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…]
Whilst 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…]
What is the breakdown of the research staff employed by the Institute, by nationality. [More…]
The answer to the honourable senator’s question is as follows: (1), (2) and (3) The Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies does not take the nationality of applicants into account when considering applications for research grants or the appointment of research workers to the staff. [More…]
I do not consider that the cost in time and money of extracting information about the nationality of grant recipients and staff could be justified. [More…]
b ) Implement the recommendation in the Report of the Royal Commission on Australian Government Administration (paragraph 8.2.14) that all nationality requirements for permanent appointment to the Australian Public Service be abolished except where the Governor-General in Council prescribes Australian citizenship by regulation as a qualification (not a condition of eligibility) for particular positions. [More…]
Moreover, it also reflects the further recognition that 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…]
They have, it claims, the right to affection, love and understanding; to adequate nutrition, medical care and free education; to full opportunity for play and recreation; to a name and nationality; to special care if handicapped; to be the first to receive relief in times of disaster; to learn to be a useful member of society; to develop individual abilities; to be brought up in a spirit of peace and universal brotherhood; and to enjoy all of those rights regardless of race, religion, colour, sex and national or social origin. [More…]
The right to a name and nationality can be granted because it does not infringe any one else’s rights. [More…]
As you will be aware, the Indonesian Government has decided that residents of East Timor not opting for the Indonesian nationality would no longer be eligible to maintain or gain employment or carry out any sort of commercial activity. [More…]
When that basic fact is appreciated, it is clear that the nationality of a patentee is totally irrelevant to the operation of a patent system. [More…]
But if honourable senators visit a gaol they will find ‘a screw is a screw is a screw’ regardless of nationality, wherever he or she may be. [More…]
