Senator Payman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Section 44 of the Constitution, there are serious questions about her eligibility to serve as a senator due to her dual citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Senator Payman&#8217;s recent announcement about forming a new political party, likely utilising her position as a Senator to form a parliamentary political party, it&#8217;s imperative that we address her status swiftly ahead of the upcoming federal election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\"

transparent process to examine her situation, suggesting a bipartisan approach to resolve these constitutional concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Payman should be afforded every opportunity to refer

commitment to upholding the Constitution must be unwavering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I urge the Prime Minister to act promptly to maintain the integrity of our parliament and ensure the Australian public can
