We can't say anything concrete about how Bill Heffernan voted on revoking citizenship of dual nationals involved with terrorism offences by the minister
How Bill Heffernan voted compared to someone who agrees that the federal government should give the immigration minister the power to revoke the citizenship of people who have dual nationality (that is, are also citizens of another country) if they take part in certain terrorism-related offences [NOTE: following a High Court decision that ruled that the Minister did not have the power to revoke citizenship in this manner, there is now a new policy titled "Revoking citizenship of dual nationals involved with terrorism offences by the courts", which involves giving the citizenship-revoking power to the courts rather than the Minister themself]

How "We can't say anything concrete about how they voted on" is worked out
Bill Heffernan has only voted once on this policy and it wasn't on a "strong" vote. So it's not possible to draw a clear conclusion about their position.
This could be because there were simply not many relevant divisions (formal votes) during the time they've been in parliament (most votes happen on "the voices", so we simply have no decent record) or they were absent for votes that could have contributed to their voting record.
