Smack on GUFU. I agree that Australia will probably look closely at the problem, but Canada has recent history of being a bit softy-liberal in such matters.
I have never really understood the dual-nationality arrangement. Surely your nationality applies to where you want to live, pay taxes and fight for in time of war? How can you have that kind of loyalty to two countries?
especially if teh two countries are at war with each other, you better choose your side accordingly, or be regarded a traitor with risk of severe punishment if captured !
which brings me to Lard Haw haw ( aka Willaim Joyce) IMO he should not have been hanged as he was an Irish Citizen as far as i recall he never took up British citizenship, therefore not a traitor however it suited the Govt of the time to hang him as one in spite of that defence being put forward.
But I think it's barred to Americans (with the exception of veterans of the Flying Tigers, who each were awarded theirs last year). Maybe Sweden, swedes are great. I have family in Norway, the country is beautiful, geographically and scenically (is that a word? nevermind, don't give a feck) it beats Sweden, but all the Norwegians I know are bloody rascists.

It may be an overcrowded, scruffy, corrupt dump, but I love my country and what it has done for this world.
Other countries ? stuff 'em and all the fence sitting expats, what is the first thing they ask for when you visit? tea, bangers and bisto.
and now it seems to have their arrse saved when it all goes wrong after they have turned thier backs on this sceptred isle.
Driving on the left, warm beer and cricket, church steeples with the cross of St.George, football, poppy day, trooping the colour, fish and chips at the seaside, Spitfires and Concorde, M&S, roast dinners and curry, jumpers for goalposts, rugby union, listening to winning the ashes on my radio while sitting in my garden. :\')
Now tell me one other fcuking country that gives you all that? or to put it another way
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
"King Richard II", Act 2 scene 1 :\')
I have duel nationality already............ English and British and proud of it.
