RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT 2,000 words Recently two Greens senators, Senator Scott Ludlam and Senator Larissa Waters, have resigned from the Senate after discovering that they held dual citizenship (New Zealand for Ludlam, Canada for Waters). Under section 44(i) of the Commonwealth Constitution, this makes them ineligible to stand for the Commonwealth Parliament. Do you think this provision continues to be relevant or should it be changed by referendum? If it should be changed, what should the qualifications and disqualifications for eligibility be? Should the conditions for eligibility to stand for Parliament be the same as eligibility to vote? Should there be any changes to the current eligibility to vote? Should the eligibility to vote be incorporated into the Constitution by referendum? s. 128 The References should used in this assignment: 1Who may sit?
