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? |

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.

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. |

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.

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.

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.
