Australia to tighten citizenship laws to combat terrorism

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said Australia will make its citizenship laws stringent and appropriately deal with those inciting hatred.
A BCC News report today cited Abbott as saying citizenship for dual nationals involved in terrorism could be suspended or even revoked.
Speaking at the federal police headquarters in Canberra, Abbott said, "It has long been the case that people who fight against Australia forfeit their citizenship." People born in Australia could also lose some privileges if they broke anti-terror laws, he added. Australia is facing growing security threats from radicals, officials have warned.
Dozens of Australian nationals are said to be fighting for Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq and Syria. Experts are worried about the effect of returnees - and on those who support them - on domestic security.
