National security: Abbott would revoke citizenship as part of extremism fight | 23 Feb 2015 | In a national security speech on Monday, Tony Abbott outlined a series of planned counter-terrorism measures including the power to revoke citizenship in the case of dual nationals. Amendments to the Citizenship Act would allow the government to revoke or suspend the Australian citizenship of dual nationals, he said. And for individuals involved in terrorism who held only Australian citizenship, Abbott said he was considering “suspending some of the privileges of citizenship” such as “restricting the ability to leave or return to Australia, and access to consular services overseas, as well as access to welfare payments”. The prime minister chose to deliver his long-awaited national security address at an event at the Australian federal police (AFP) headquarters in Canberra, rather than to parliament.
