A SEVEN-year-old Australian boy who horrified the world when he was
photographed holding the severed head of a Syrian soldier by the hair has
created a quandary for the Federal Government, which wants to make scores of
Australian fighters in the Middle East someone else’s problem by revoking their
citizenship.
News that the boy’s mother has had enough of the horrors of Syria and wants
to bring her five children back home to Sydney prompted questions about how
governments should protect their own citizens and where to draw the line between
terrorists and their victims.
Sydney-born convicted terrorist Khaled Sharrouf posted a photo on his Twitter
account from Syria of his youngest son with his extended arms straining under
the weight of the gruesome trophy.
But dual nationals fighting with groups such as Islamic State would be taken
back by Australia if their citizenship was stripped by another country, even if
they were known to be committing acts of terrorism, Immigration Minister Peter
Dutton says.
As the Federal Government debates whether to allow dual citizens to be
stripped of their right to be Australian, Mr Dutton conceded Australia had a
legal obligation to accept back individuals if their citizenship is revoked by
another jurisdiction.
“We have a constitutional obligation to provide citizenship to that person,”
Mr Dutton told Sky News.
“If that person has dual citizenship they will fall back to that citizenship
but if they’re to be rendered stateless, as I’ve said clearly, in that situation
we’re not going to allow that to happen.” The plan to revoke the citizenship of
dual nationals, flagged by Prime Minister Tony Abbott would give discretion on
making decisions to Mr Dutton.
The Australian legislation is based on similar laws in the UK.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
