Greens federal candidate for Franklin, Owen Fitzgerald, falls foul of dual citizenship law

The Greens have been forced to admit an oversight failure - with a rising star of the party forced to end his election campaign in the Tasmanian seat of Franklin. Owen Fitzgerald will remain on the ballot but can't be elected as he's a dual citizen. The oversight was picked up by a self proclaimed 'amateur election analyst' who's blasted the party for failing to learn the lessons of 2017's citizenship scandal.
