That final link was established and published in the SMH recently.<br /><br />http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/dyson-heydon-was-on-panel-that-awarded-tony-abbott-his-prized-rhodes-scholarship-20150817-gj0o8o.html<br /><br />Fortunately the Oxford MA academics showed no fear or favour with academic mediocrity for Abbott's study awarding a B- for Modern political Thought no less.<br /><br />How he rose to be PM in Australia and the indignity that the country suffered under his leadership and Captain’s calls was a sad indictment of our times and we must not let this type of “dangerous “ person (as summed up by Malcom Fraser) run the country again. It was quite obvious that the position was beyond his capabilities.RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839392107164037130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136161833847253297.post-40131167361975610352015-08-22T00:07:30.614+10:002015-08-22T00:07:30.614+10:00His mother has a lot to answer for His mother has a lot to answer for Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821483480439449304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136161833847253297.post-14341535703260414832015-02-03T12:30:05.448+11:002015-02-03T12:30:05.448+11:00Why not simplify the system so that would be comme...Why not simplify the system so that would be commenters don't have to be verified by google or wordpress or any of these filters and spooks ? <br /><br />What they do is have the politically incorrect in a data base which blocks a comment associated with a no no name from going through.<br /><br />Just name and email address and proof that we're not a robot is plenty, and your moderation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136161833847253297.post-58372357388061791082015-02-03T12:22:33.078+11:002015-02-03T12:22:33.078+11:00Were he Australian born would he have sought as PM...Were he Australian born would he have sought as PM to make it a national priority to eliminate the near $Trillion debt at the Federal level for which a $Billion interest is paid in perpetuity every month ?<br /><br />He wouldn't. <br /><br />Any one replacing him right now, whichever of the front contenders you care to think of, would seek to shackle us still tighter to the debt corpse that is a banker fiction, by continually cutting back on social benefits to fund yet another looming bankers' war, this time against Syria.

Possible that once she settled in England she applied for British citizenship as she had Welsh mother, but there is no proof to date and, from memory, nothing in original NAA record of assisted migration addressed citizenship;<br /><br />2. The Rhodes Scholarship does allow dual citizenship applicants. However, they have to apply as citizens in the country they have permanent residence in;<br /><br />3.Tony Abbott had to apply for Australian citizenship by descent through his mother who was an Australian citizen to become eligible for the scholarship; and<br /><br />4.It is unclear if Tony Abbott renounced his British citizenship either at the time of becoming an Australian citizen, when he entered Parliament or if he still holds the second citizenship.<br />clarencegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644378636575711261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136161833847253297.post-91663075273416073272014-03-28T06:30:51.708+11:002014-03-28T06:30:51.708+11:00Here is the file from the National Archives of Aus...Here is the file from the National Archives of Australia, I got this in January and it has since disappeared from the site. http://tinypic.com/r/52grc5/8 And this shows that Mum gave up her citizenship to get the free boat trip home. http://tinypic.com/r/8vu4jo/8<br /><br />The one thing I can't find out is when he gave up his British citizenship. He couldn't get a Rhodes Scholarship as a pommie, but he did and the panic for a passport made him get Aussie citizenship. But there is nowhere that shows he actually renounced his British citizenship before taking up the scholarship. So Rhodes gave a scholarship to a pom, and let him sit in Oxford as a dual national. Not allowed in their rules.Tony Magratheanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6136161833847253297.post-90885355631886971352014-03-27T23:42:45.048+11:002014-03-27T23:42:45.048+11:00Really?
