Episode description

At the end of last year, the government rushed through new laws that have largely flown under the radar. 

The new citizenship act, which was passed following a High Court decision, allows judges to strip a dual citizen of their Australian citizenship if they repudiate ‘Australian values’. 

But, what are Australian values? And can they be defined, anyway?

Today, constitutional and citizenship expert and contributor to The Saturday Paper Professor Kim Rubenstein on why a new set of laws are forcing us to reckon with what it means to be Australian.
