The latest four to be asked about this are: Tony Zappia, born in Italy, with Italian Citizenship, Maria Vamvakinou born in Greece with Greek Citizenship, Justine Keay, born in Australia but with a British father and Susan Lamb, born in Australia but with British father.

A Statement from the Government: “We haven’t seen any evidence from Tony Zappia or from Maria Vamvakinou of whether the Greek or Italian governments have renounced their citizenship and the same for Susan Lamb from the UK, so the Labor Party needs to produce the evidence or the government will obviously consider its options.”
