Australia unveiled a radical plan Thursday to strip convicted terrorists of their citizenship even if they are native-born Australians.
Acting after a series of Jihadist-inspired plots and attacks in the country, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said his government needed expanded powers to withdraw citizenship from anyone found guilty of terrorist activity.
"People who commit acts of terrorism have rejected absolutely everything that this country stands for," Morrison told a hastily organised press conference.
"This is something that can't be tolerated, and for those who would engage in this sort of activity, and they have citizenship elsewhere, or we have reason to believe they do, they can go."
