Australia is home to some 400 people whose views are so extreme they are considered potential terror threats. For this reason, they have found themselves included on ASIO watch lists.

Consider for a moment the havoc 400 potential terrorists could cause, either as individuals or acting in cells. For that matter, consider the damage already done by local jihadis.
And consider, too, that many of these 400 potential dangers live in Australia under dual citizenship. This should provide authorities and officials with an immediate means of solving at least a part of our problem.

As dual nationals, risks to our nation may be stripped of their Australian citizenship and deported to their home nation.

This tactic was explored in depth more than one year ago, when the Federal government vowed to close legal loopholes that made it difficult to enforce terror-related deportations.

But here we are in late 2018, with numerous terror incidents, attacks and trials occurring during the intervening period, and those troubling loopholes evidently still remain.

As do the overwhelming majority of those dual citizens on ASIO’s watch list. Appallingly, and frighteningly, only six dual nationals among the 400 potential terror threats have been thrown out of Australia.

In the meantime, more than 160 bikies have been booted out and 20 dual citizens have lost their Australian citizenship following child sex offences. But terror risks are allowed to live here and in many cases exploit our generous welfare system.

We are paying people who by rights should have been put on a one-way flight out of here a long time ago.

“One issue is a dual citizen can’t be evicted unless they are convicted of a terror offence,” Liberal MP Jason Wood, the Chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Migration, told the Daily Telegraph.

Wood adds that extremists born overseas should be deported based on eligibility to re-acquire the citizenship of their birth country.

“As far as I’m concerned, if you've put your hand up to say you uphold the rights and responsibility of Australian citizenship, but the next minute you want to talk jihad all day, it's a breach of contract and you need to go,” he said.

Good call. Make it happen.



nothing will ,change while we have a senate made up of individuals who all want to make a deal for their vote...

And apparently they are only the responsibility of the Islamic community, and not the whole of society.

On the one hand they whinge about muslims not integrating, but apparently its only a one-way street. Its all on the muslims to integrate into society, but no responsibility is on the wider community to welcome and accept them.
