Senator sent for a ‘please explain’
ONE Nation’s Malcolm Roberts has admitted knowing there was a “possibility” he was a British or Indian citizen when he ran for parliament.
The Queensland senator told the High Court in Brisbane yesterday he had “no hesitation” signing a form on April 29, 2016 to nominate for the party.
But two days later Senator Roberts sent an email titled “Am I still a British citizen” to two email addresses he thought were linked to the British consulate.
“I couldn’t be absolutely certain, even though I felt certain,” Senator Roberts testified yesterday.
He is one of seven politicians caught up in the citizenship debacle.
