If its Australian citizenship then yes, but if they are in positions of power which no immigrant (that isn't a Australian citizen) should be allowed to be in, they certainly shouldn't be dual citizens. (E.g. politicians shouldn't be allowed to have dual citizenship - as well no politician who wasn't born in Australia that moved here before they were 13 should be allowed to become a politician.)

 @BC6KMHRCoalitionanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, and if they commit a serious crime, then their Australian citizenship should be revoked and they should be deported to the other country for which they hold citizenship.

 @B7RB5VFanswered…7mos7MO

Only if they're from a country which aligns with Australian values and Christianity, such as, Britain, New Zearland, USA, Canada

 @B4XPQN3answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and politicians should be allowed to as well, provided they disclose they are a dual citizen when running for or holding office.

 @B4WJDQLfrom Guam  answered…1yr1Y

Only if they have lived here for more than 8 years, can speak fluent english and has not committed any serious crimes

 @B4BPF7Tanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, and we should consider reviewing the constitution to allow dual citizens to serve in parliament.

 @B48HHM6answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only those from countries which we share historical and cultural ties with. E.g. England, Canada etc.

 @B3R5KQRLaboranswered…1yr1Y

If their country of origin allows our citizens to hold dual citizenship then fine. The government must do thorough background checks beforehand

 @B3BLDFMLiberalanswered…1yr1Y

Only in the event that they’re working in a crucial work sector, such as healthcare, engineering, etc.

 @B374RC4answered…1yr1Y

Make it more desirable to become a citizen instead of giving the same benefits to PR. If Australia decided to make it a one citizenship nation, I wouldn't care.

 @B33C8S4Liberalanswered…1yr1Y

No, but allow an exemption of the citizen is unable (eg North Korean citizen) or at severe personal disadvantage (eg must care for sick overseas family member)

 @B2SXP9Sanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, and there should be re-consideration about rewording Section 44 to allow dual citizens to become MPs.

 @B2HZNL3answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only for the country they were born in and for the country they are planning to live in permanently.

 @B24STGSLaboranswered…1yr1Y

Yes, and allow them to serve in parliament provided they do not hold citizenship of a nation that could be considered a threat to national security.

 @9WNJ2H2from Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes for peaceful countries. No to countries that are constantly at war such as South Africa, Middle Eastern countries etc. They can still visit their home countries on an Australian citizenship/passport if they need to.

 @92LB95FOne Nationanswered…4yrs4Y

No, unless it’s a country that shares the same Head of State as Australia

 @92KR8GXanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but second citizenship should only remain valid if you spend 50% of your time in the second country since receiving citizenship.

 @92GCYYFanswered…4yrs4Y

 @92DKHTJLiberal Democratanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, unless they have committed a crime, Yes, unless they have committed an act of terrorism & Yes, but they should not be able to claim citizenship status of more than two nations.

 @8ZSH8WQanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes provided they are not members of government or work for defence or national security companies

 @8Z855C3Laboranswered…4yrs4Y

Dual citizenship is culturally important however they should have to nominate a dominant nationality ie if that's Australia then they have full citizenship and can't join a foreign army or Olympic team.

 @99GZ27Sanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, unless they are seeking to join the Australian Defence Force, security and intelligence organisations, government departments, parliament, or any position in which their dual citizenship poses a national security risk.

 @982VQ9Manswered…3yrs3Y

Only with countries that are apart of the Commonwealth and/or align with our country's interests.

 @94DNMGSanswered…4yrs4Y

No, unless their citizenship shares the same Head of State as Australia

 @8YH7KJ3Greensanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes. Citizens found to be acting against the interests of the Nation need to be deported. Without Dual Citizenship, they have no where to be deported.

 @8Y3RP34Independentanswered…4yrs4Y

Only with countries that share extradition treaties with Australia

 @8TSYSZKanswered…5yrs5Y

 @9335RCDanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, as long as they are good people with no history of terrorism OR crime and only able to hold citizenship of no more than two nations
