citizenship
As you may or may not have noticed the Australian parliament is falling apart right now because all of a sudden it is apparent that a whole bunch of MPs failed to disclose foreign citizenship (or eligibility for foreign citizenship) before putting their hands up for election, which is a black-and-white no-no under Section 44 of the Australian Constitution.
So pop quiz: who here is a citizen (or entitled to citizenship) of where? |
Me: NZ by birth, Oz through time served
|
NZ by birth
|
NZ by birth, Oz by birthright (Mum is from QLD). Even have expired passports for both nations.
|
NZ by birth. Currently hold a New Zealand and Irish passport.

Edit: Perhaps my sister became an Irish citizen? |
Yep, i received mine about 16 years ago via my grandmother. Though, i would imagine things have tightened up a fair bit since then.
The ironic thing is she was born/raised in Northern Ireland. |
Surely that means you're entitled to Irish citizenship?
|
I'm stranded here. All my grandparents were NZ born, maternal great-grandmother came from England.
|
Just NZ.

NZ by birth & eligible for British Citizenship by decent (Parental)
|
Full on Cantab only. Tracable back to the first four ships etc.
The kids on the other hand do get to visit Southland without a passport. |
Saffa by birth, NZ by citizenship, Aussie by time served (under the new rules).

NZ by birth, just started the US citizenship process a month ago.
|
NZ by birth, but my son was born stateless in Melbourne, so he only has NZ by descent. Should he knock someone up overseas, any grandkids won't be eligible for NZ citizenship.

NZ by birth but have Irish citizenship and passport through my Grandfather

I think my parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents are all NZ-born. Small question mark over my maternal grandmother's mother but I'd be very surprised if she were not NZ-born. I have to go at least 4 generations back before I find people I know were born outside NZ (England, Scotland, Denmark are the nearest... USA and more England a bit further)
edit, I was wrong. Paternal grandfather's mother, born Melbourne, Straya, 1877. Her parents born Hammersmith England and New York USA respectively. |
My father's side goes back 150 years here. My mum's side... I dunno, great-grandparents English or something. Does get me shit in the way of a passport though.

All my great-grandparents were born in England or Scotland and all flat-footed colonials since then. |
NZ. All of my ancestors came to NZ before the 20th Century. My kids won't be able to say that though, seen as their mum is English.
