Liberal MP seeking advice on citizenship
AAP
A Liberal MP has sought further legal advice after being unable to ascertain whether his former-USSR-born father, Polish and British-born grandfathers and Leningrad-born grandmother conferred foreign citizenship on him.
Mackellar MP Jason Falinski wrote on his citizenship declaration form lodged with parliament on Tuesday he had made inquiries of both the Polish consulate and UK High Commission and searched "archival material".
"I have further sought legal advice ... to confirm my citizenship status solely as an Australian citizen," he wrote, despite marking a box declaring he had never been a citizen of any country other than Australia.
