Australian High Court has disclosed Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce to say that he had dual citizenship and his choice was wrong. The court says that the choice of 4 other MPs in the elections in July this year was wrong. According to the Australian Constitution, people with dual citizenship cannot participate in the election. Barnaby Joyce had the combined citizenship of Australia and New Zealand. Their departure has led to the end of a seat by the government, since which has brought a serious threat to it. However, he left his New Zealand citizenship after the election, due to which he could be re-elected by taking part in the election. He said after the decision: I respect the court’s judgment. We live in a wonderful democracy, where we face some tales to enjoy freedom. I thank the court for their consideration. Since July, the case of a dual citizenship is particularly hot in Australia, and since then dozens of members have made their position clear.
