Dear sir/madam
writing
to congratulate Dion Dassanayake on his piece about Tony Abbott. Since
then Abbott has gone on to say that child abuse in our dinky little
concentration camp on Nauru is things happen.
He is an
embarrassment, but more so your very own Theresa May and David Cameron
are protecting him, I believe also that William Hague played a big part
in ensuring Abbott was not questioned about his British citizenship.
In
Australia it is illegal for a member of parliament to hold
nationalities other than Australian, our constitution forbids it. Mr
Abbott was born in London to a British father and Australian mother, he
got automatic British citizenship. In 1981 he applied for Australian
citizenship to comply with the Rhodes Scholarship rules, he had applied
as a Briton for something that was only supposed to be available for
Australians. he got the Australian citizenship and became a dual
national.
He entered parliament in 1984 and because of twee
little rules written by his own party the Electoral Commission can not
question someone's nationality, they have to believe a politician. In
2014 Mr Abbotts department of Prime Minister and Cabinet released an FOI
request,
FOI/2014/159
stating the renunciation paperwork does not exist. If Mr Abbott is a
dual national he has signed 8 flase declarations for the Australian
Electoral Commission. The Australian federal police are reluctant to
act because the Commissioner, Mr Colvin, has been promised the top job
in Homeland Security if that is ever set up.
In January an opposition MP finally
dared to ask
Mr Abbot about his dual nationality, but its been 8 weeks and still no
reply. Her political party has now decided she is not to ask
further.
In
September 2014 I contacted your Home Office to see if they had a copy
of Mr Abbotts renunciation papers for his British citizenship. The
request went well past the 3 weeks which is the legislated for your
FOIs, the civil servant I spoke to about the delay said "off the record"
that Mr Hague from the Foreign Office had called in the request to
protect his conservative friend and Oxford old boy chum Tony Abbott. The
official response from Home Office was that they could neither confirm
nor deny any renunciation forms existed. requests to Ms May and Mr
Cameron to use their authority to determine what hte truth was have been
ignored. I have not had anything other than the computer generated
initial response.
Maybe your newspaper would like to follow
up this story and ask Ms May and Mr Cameron and Mr Hague why they are
protecting someone who may be a criminal fraud acting as prime minsiter
in Australia.
My
blog is quite lengthy and details a lot of what is and isnt happening in Australian politics.
Cheers and thank you and pass on a pat on the back to Mr Dassanayake
yours sincerely

as
a funny aside to this, Mr Abbotts mother returned to Australia as an
assisted immigration passenger on a ship, we sweetly call them ten pound
poms. The Australian National Archives have no record of Mrs Abbott
renouncing her Australian citizenship, she she probably came to
Australia as an illegal boat person.
