Hi,
I currently hold dual citizenship with Australia and another country in Europe.
I've recently been convicted of a crime in my European country, equivalent to assault causing harm. The penalty imposed was a 2 year suspended sentence.
I'm currently trying to get my life back on track after this and make sure nothing like it ever happens again, it was a first offence and I'm hugely remorseful and regret the while incident.
A friend in Aus recently advised me of the new Australian Citizenship Amendment and I am now terrified that my Australian Citizenship will be revoked. I understand that the amendment is mainly to combat terrorism however there seems to be scope to revoke people's citizenship for a variety of other crimes.
Is it possible that my citizenship could be revoked?
Thank you.
