Recent history: For revoking citizenship of dual nationals involved with terrorism offences by the minister

Description changed from “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” to “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]”.
