Powers questioned as to Burchett entry and citizenship
An academic lawyer from ANU argued that it is hard to imagine lawful grounds for excluding natural born Australian citizen Burchett from entering Australia. He noted passport and citizenship rules vary by country and that the government has no obligation to grant a passport or admit him without proper papers. Burchett, claiming exile, has tried to enter twice in a week but failed due to lack of papers and airline refusals.
