From 1949 to 1982, a person born in Britain would have been a British subject and a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, while someone born in Australia, would have been a British subject and a citizen of Australia. Before 1977, the term "British subject" was analogous with "Commonwealth citizen" . We are members of the Commonwealth...
Hmmm.... not a lot to do with TERRORISM. Which these days largely involves Islamic Jihadis and Islamist groups.Australia retained the status of British subject until the Australian Citizenship Amendment Act 1984 removed Part II of the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 effective on 1 May 1987. Between 1 January 1983 and 1 May 1987 a British citizen and an Australian citizen were both British subjects under Australian law, but not under United Kingdom law. The term encompassed all citizens of countries listed in the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948. The list was based on, but was not identical with, those countries (and their colonies) that were members of the Commonwealth from time to time. The list was amended from time to time as various former colonies became independent countries, but the list in the Act was not necessarily up-to-date as far as to constitute exactly a list of countries in the Commonwealth at any given time. This definition of British subject meant that, for the purposes of Australian nationality law, citizens of countries that had become republics, such as India, were grouped as British subjects. "British subjects" ceased to be eligible to be issued with Australian passports under Australian nationality law in 1984.
So far the vigilance of authorities and more moderate Muslims has prevented us from being victims of the worst of the plotting of these people. But to deny where these people form their ideas, what ideology is the basis of their insanity and where they come from is simply stupidity and denial.
