Did Fatima Payman breach Australia’s dual citizenship laws? A senate showdown unfolds
Senator Pauline Hanson accused Senator Fatima Payman of breaching section 44 of the Constitution over dual citizenship concerns. Payman, born in Afghanistan, refuted the claims, citing efforts to renounce her Afghan citizenship hindered by the Taliban takeover. The senate will vote on whether to investigate Payman’s eligibility, with Labor opposing the motion and criticizing it as a waste of time.
