One Nation's Malcolm Roberts 'choosing to believe he was never British'

Spokesman says there is no incongruity with senator's claims to have never held British citizenship and to have renounced it on 6 June 2016

One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts has attempted to clarify his citizenship status after a spokesman reportedly said he was "choosing to believe he was never British" .

Since Roberts' election in July 2016, questions over his potential dual citizenship have been raised given its potential to render him ineligible to sit as a senator under section 44 of the constitution.
