Some of you may have heard of the social media discussions about the prime minsters British citizenship and his refusal to release the renunciation details from the British Home Office.
Is there any way to get the Prime Minister to release the form or letter regarding his renunciation of British citizenship through a subpoena or does some sort of legal action have to take place first? If he hasnt renounced his British citizenship before entering parliament in 1994 he may be guilty of fraud but no one will know until he releases the document. He worked for quite a few high profile politicians before entering parliament so not knowing the constitutional law would be no excuse for not renouncing his British citizenship.
Any thoughts on how to get him to release the forms? I have tried FOI but at the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet his Chief of Staff (Peta Credlin) became the FOI clerk and she even told me she would refuse access before I even lodged an FOI request. In the UK the Foreign Office stepped in and told the Home Office not to release the form, to use a neither confirm nor deny response. I have tried getting the Attorney General to investigate the matter, but he doesn't seem to be able to work email, no response. ditto from my local MP, he just blocked me on facebook and refuses to answer any emails.
