These are the circumstances under which Australian Citizenship can be revoked;

I hope this bloke wasn't born here and has his citizenship revoked and is deported;

As far as I am aware, without reading the law, a person who is born in Australia cannot have their citizenship revoked; However what I do find interesting is this section:

One of the more interesting aspects of the Act can be found in s 35(1)(b) and s 35(2), which states; that a person ceases to be an Australian citizen if they choose to serve in the military of another nation that is engaged in armed conflict with Australia.

Now, can this be applied to a citizen born in Australia ? Interesting !!

Ditto......with these captured planes IS have now (see I digress thread) the planes attacking IS positions could be in more danger, not just from ground missiles etc, etc.
