| Dreyfus to Turnbull: I again refer to reports the government is preparing to strip a dual national of Australian citizenship for the first time and that it expects the legislation to be challenged in the high court. Given this is the same legislation where a letter the attorney general provided to the intelligence committee incorrectly represented advice from the solicitor general, what are the risks to national security in the event of a successful legal challenge? What is the reason for the government misrepresenting the advice of the solicitor general? | Dreyfus to Turnbull: I again refer to reports the government is preparing to strip a dual national of Australian citizenship for the first time and that it expects the legislation to be challenged in the high court.

| If he has those concerns, I would suggest he holds his nose and does the unspeakable thing of talking to the attorney. I’d suggest he does that. I suggest he puts his personal animosity aside and speaks to the attorney general if he has real concerns. He’s got to get over these petty personal animosities and get on our team, get on Australia’s team, to ensure that we have the right legislation. | If he has those concerns, I would suggest he holds his nose and does the unspeakable thing of talking to the attorney.
