And with all those roadworks, a financial boon for cigarette and Iced Coffee vendors all across metro Adelaide.

That's what happened.
"Everywhere I go, the overwhelming sentiment in the New England is people are saying: 'How could you be born in the Tamworth Base Hospital, where your great grandmother was born in Tamworth, where your great grandfather was born in Glen Innes, where you served in the Australian Army Reserves and somehow you are not an Australian? I mean, does that work?'"
"To be quite frank I have a hard time trying to explain that to them."

If I hadn't considered going to live in the UK for a while at one time and researched it, it would never have occurred to me that being born in Adelaide of a British mother prior to 1945 could make me eligible for British citizenship - in fact back in 2007-8 it wouldn't have - I'd have just been entitled to "Right of Abode".
The UK has since had the cheek to change their law without letting me know!!
I found that out when I re-checked there rules recently when this furore erupted recently,
It would cost me about $2000.00 to check it out and make sure,,,
If I'd become an MP with a clear conscious back in 2008 I'd potentially be in trouble now too.
That said the parties do need to get their act together and vet these things at least until we can set up a constitution that focusses on intent or negligence not just accident or foreign law changes.

He noted this morning that he's "hopeful" of having as many candidates running in Labor held seats.
The election is 4 1/2 months away, surely it's leaving a run fairly late to throw new candidates into seats now?
