Senator once a Pom

-

DOCUMENTS have emerged showing One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts once was a British citizen.

But Buzzfeed has obtained an immigratio­n department document signed by Senator Roberts and dated May 8, 1974, on which the then 19-year-old notes he is a “British UK and Cols (Colonies)” citizen.

Senator Roberts was born in Disergarh in India in 1955 and his family arrived in Australia in October 1962.

In another document, Senator Roberts’ father Leuan, who was born in Wales, signs consent for his son to apply for Australian citizenshi­p.

The documents show no mention of whether the British citizenshi­p was extinguish­ed.
