Dutton revokes Benbrika's Aussie citizenship

[Black Orchid]

The Federal Government has cancelled the citizenship of Abdul Nacer Benbrika, one of Australia's most notorious terrorists, ahead of his expected release from a Victorian prison.

Benbrika was jailed for 12 years in 2008 for his role in a plot to attack a number of targets in Victoria and New South Wales.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton confirmed the Government had now revoked Benbrika's Australian citizenship.

"I cancelled the Australian citizenship of convicted terrorist Benbrika, [making him] the first individual to have lost citizenship onshore," he said.

"He has been notified of the citizenship loss and he will remain in prison while an interim detention order is in place."

Last year, intelligence authorities raised concerns with the Government's powers, saying that stripping convicted or suspected terrorists of their citizenship could have unintended consequences.

But Mr Dutton said the Government was doing what it thought was "appropriate" to protect Australians from the danger posed by Benbrika.

"In this instance, he spoke about thousands and thousands of Australians being killed, that's what he advocated for at the time," he said.

"It doesn't matter who it is; if it's a person who's posing a significant terrorist threat to our country, then we'll do whatever is possible within Australian law to protect Australians.

"That remains our priority."

Send a good message to all potential terrorists!

Mr Dutton said he was the first person onshore to lose his citizenship under the relevant laws, passed in 2007.

Benbrika will be granted an ex-citizen visa under migration law.

Labor's foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong said the laws allowing the government to cancel citizenship were passed with her party's support.

"We did understand when we passed those laws through the parliament that the cancellation of citizenship was a big step but a necessary step in certain circumstances," she told ABC TV.

"Mr Benbrika's activities and his conviction are well known to all of us and that is why Labor supported the passage of that legislation."

So he's been given an ex-citizen visa. The definition of which is ...

An ex-citizen visa is a permanent visa and allows its holder to remain in Australia, but does not allow its holder to travel outside of Australia. If you cease to be an Australian citizen while outside of Australia, you will have no visa.

What sort of nonsense is this? He can't leave Australia?
