High Court Ruling - citizenship

Former Nick Xenophon Team Senator for South Australia, Skye Kakoschke-Moore, has today welcomed the decision by the High Court in relation to her citizenship matter.

“The past few months have been a very trying time. Today’s decision by the High Court has at last provided certainty in relation to how my place in the Senate will be filled,” Skye said.

“I am immensely grateful for the support I received from the community after I discovered my dual citizenship. There was nothing I enjoyed more than working to improve the lives of South Australians and advocating for the needs of some of our most disadvantaged. I look forward to running for our team again at the next Federal Election.”

Skye also thanks her legal team for their advocacy and the High Court for their consideration of her matter.

“No one was more surprised or heartbroken than me when I discovered my dual citizenship. I was not going to leave any stone unturned if it meant I would be able to return to the Senate to represent the state that I love”.
