A woman aged 30 is an Australian citizen and also holds citizenship of another country. What is her position on standing for parliament?
- She cannot stand while she is a dual citizen ✓
- She must wait until she is 35 years old
- She can stand at any level of parliament
- She can stand only at state level
Why this is the answer
Only citizens who are not dual citizens may seek election, so holding a second citizenship stops her from standing.
