For what it's worth (it changes nothing and noe of you give a poo poo), apparently the reason this one was missed was because the law was changed the week before she was born, so she was spitting distance from being totally fine.

That's just supernaturally bad luck, that.

yeah she only had 30 years to check what it was :rolleyes:

I'm loving furious about this - gently caress the Greens they deserve to be royally stomped at the next election.

They are probably gonna get stomped but those seats will just float back to the ALP and then probably float back to The Greens later or some other party.

Not correct

"However after Scott's shock discovery, I immediately sought legal advice, and was devastated to learn that because of 70-year-old Canadian laws I had been a dual citizen from birth, and that Canadian law changed a week after I was born and required me to have actively renounced Canadian citizenship"

Except that most people would just have to check the year and know the situation, maybe the month if it's close. She'd have to check the day, which likely didn't occur to her or would've been easy to find.

Still shame on the QLD Greens for not checking (and REALLY shame on the WA branch), but it's close enough to the line to believe she'd have been mistaken.

We LOL at death! Watch us LOL. Love the LOL.
The individual error seems less significant to me than the fact that the party (or branch of the party) didn't check for this. People are fallible. This is why you have systems and processes to control for this kind of stupid stuff. Whoever is in charge of the branch needs to explain why they allowed ineligible candidates to be put forward.

If she bothered to check the year, she would have gone oh my and checked the month. Then she would have gone oh my again and checked the day. She assumed and didn't check.
