Australian Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is proposing a referendum to amend the constitution, allowing the government to strip criminal dual nationals of their citizenship and deport them.
The plan targets individuals convicted of serious crimes such as terrorism and child exploitation. Dutton argues that the current legal framework is too restrictive, while the Labor government dismisses the proposal as a political distraction. The referendum could cost up to $450 million, sparking debate over its necessity and effectiveness.
Critics have likened the move to 'Trumpian' politics, questioning its feasibility and impact on civil rights.
